506 GAMES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS  [ETH. ann, 24 
dians, gives the accompanying figures referring to the preceding 
game: 
A dead man was used in the ring-and-pole game [figure 669]. Aiverican- 
Horse’s Winter Count, 177980. The figure 
represents the stick and ring used in the 
game of haka, with a human head in front 
to suggest that the corpse took the place of 
the usual stick. 
It was an intensely cold winter and a 
Dakota froze to death [figure 670]. Ameri-

pictograph from American-Horse’s 
Winter Count, 1779-80; from Mallery. 
The sign for snow or winter, i. e., a cloud 
with snow falling from it, is above the 
man’s head. A haka stick, which is used in playing that game, is represented 
in front of him. Battiste Good’s record further explains the illustration by the 
account that the Dakota was killed in a fight with the Pawnees, and his com- 
panions left his body where they supposed it would not be found, but the 
Pawnee found it, and, as it was frozen stiff, they dragged it into their camp and 
played haka with it.
