122 PICTOGRAPHS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS. 



bands of the Dakotas. This was at Fort Pierre, Dakota. The figure 

 shows an officer in uniform shaking hands with an Indian. 



Executive document No. 94, Thirty-fourth Congress, first session, Sen- 

 ate, contains the "minutes of a council held at Fort Pierre, Nebraska, 

 on the 1st day of March, 1856, by Brevet Brig.-Gen. William S. Harney, 

 U. S. Army, commanding the Sioux expedition, with the delegations 

 from nine of the bauds of the Sioux, viz., the Two-Kettle band, Lower 

 Yankton, Oncpapas, Blackfeet Sioux, Minneconjous, Sans Arcs, Yanc- 

 tonnais (two bands), Brides of the Platte." 



No. III. Dakotas made peace with General Harney (called by them 

 Putinska, white beard or moustache) at Fort Pierre, Dakota. 



1856-'57. — No. I. Four-Horns, a great warrior. 



No. II. Four-Horn was made a calumet or medicine man. This was 

 probably the result of an important political struggle, as there is much 

 rivalry and electioneering for the office, which, with its triple character 

 of doctor, priest, and magician, is one of far greater power than the 

 chieftainship. A man with four horns holds out the same kind of orna- 

 mented pipe-stem shown in the character for 1801-'05, it being his badge 

 of office. Four-Horn was one of the subchiefs of the Uncpapas, and 

 was introduced to General Harney at the council of 1856 by Bear-Rib, 

 head chief of that tribe. 



No. III. A Minneconjou Dakota, named Red-Fish's-Son, danced calu- 

 met dance. 



Mato Sapa says the same as last. 



Major Bush says, "A Minneconjou, Red-Fish's- Son, The- Ass, danced 

 the Four- Horn calumet." 



Interpreter Clement, in the spring of 1874, said that Four Horn and 

 Sitting-Bull were the same person, the name Sitting-Bull being given 

 him after he was made a calumet man. No other authority tells this. 



1857-'58. — No. I. White-Robe kills a Crow woman. There is but one 

 arrow and one blood spot iu the character. 



No. II. The Dakotas killed a Crow squaw. The stripes on the blan- 

 ket are shown horizontally, Brave-Bear's, 1854-'55, and Swan's, 1866-'67, 

 being vertical. She is pierced by four arrows, and the peace made with 

 the Crows in 1851-52 seems to have been short lived. 



No. III. A party of Crow Indians, while on a visit to the Dakotas, had 

 one of their number killed by a young Dakota. The figure has blood 

 from the four arrows running down each side of the body. 



Mato-Sapa says : A Crow was killed by a Dakota while on a visit to 

 the latter. 



Major Bush says substantially the same as Mato Sapa. 



1858-'59. — No. I. Lone-Horn makes medicine. "At such times In- 

 dians sacrifice ponies, etc., and fast." In this character the buffalo- 

 head is black. 



No. II. Lone-Horn, whose solitary horn appears, made buffalo medi- 

 cine, probably on account of the scarcity of that animal. Again the
