 the Indian tribes, who adopt tbe dress and occupation of women. | This 

 is sometimes compulsory, e. g., on account of failure to pass an ordeal.] 



L849-'50. — No. I. Many died of the cramps. The cramps were those 

 of Asiatic cholera, which was epidemic in the United States at that time, 

 and was carried to the plains by the California and Jregou emigrants. 

 The position of the man is very suggestive of cholera.

 index points to the hole, which is suggestive of the man's name.

 Horse Creek. A one-point blanket is depicted and denotes dry-goods, 

 it is surrounded by a circle of marks which represent the people.

 the first they received. The blanket which is represented stands for the 

 goods.

 winter."

 the tribes to unite with them in a war against the Pawnees. 



No. II. A white man made medicine over the skull of Crazy-Horse's 

 brother. He holds a pipe-stem in his band. This probably refers to 

 the custom of gathering the bones of the dead that have been placed on 

 scaffolds and burying them. 



White-Cow-Killer calls it " Great-snow winter."
