302 PICTURE-WRITING OF THE AMERICAN INDIANS. 
Fig. 301, 1744~45,—*‘ Brought-home-Omaha-horses 
winter. 
Fia. 301. 
oo Fig. 302, 1745~46.—“ Many-drying-seaffolds winter.” It 
was even a better year for buffalo than 1723~24. 
Fia. 302, 
Fig. 303, 1746747.—* Came-home-having-killed-one-Gros- 
Ventre winter. 
Fig. 304, 1747—48.—“ Froze-to-death-at-the-hunt winter.” 
The arrow pointing toward the buffalo head indicates they 
were hunting, and the crouching figure of the man, together 
with thesnow above and below him, that he suffered severely 
from cold or froze to death. 
Fia. 304. 
Fig. 305, 1748-’49.—* Kat-frozen-fish winter.” They 
discovered large numbers of fish frozen in the ice, and 
subsisted on them all winter. 
Vig. 506, 1749-50.—* Many-hole-camp-winter.” The 
same explanation as for Fig. 260, for the year 170304, 
The two figures are different in execution though the 
same in concept. There would, however, be little con- 
fusion in distinguishing two seasous of exceptional sue- 
cess in the hunt that were separated by forty-six years. 
Fig. 307, 1750-51.—* Killed-two-white-buffalo-cows win- 
ter.” (Note by Dr. Corbusier: Two white buttalo are so 
rarely killed one season that the event is considered worthy 
} of record. Most Indians regard the albinos among ani- 
mals with the greatest reverance. The Ojibwas, who look 
upon a black loon as the most worthless of birds regard a 
white one as sacred.)
