off the enemy’s fingers for necklaces, and sometimes to cutting off the 
whole hand or forearm as a trophy to be displayed as scalps more gen- 
erally are. 
Fig. 496 is from the Winter Count of Battiste Good 
for the year 178586. In that record this is the only 
instance where the short vertical lines below the ar- 
row signify Cheyenne. In all others those marks are 
numerical and denote the number of persons killed. 
That these short lines here signify Cheyenne is ex- 
plained by the foregoing remarks. 
Fic, 496.—Cheyenne. 
Fig. 497.—Picket-Pin went against the Cheyennes. 
A picket-pin is represented in front of him and is 
connected with his mouth by the usual line. Cloud- 
Shield’s Winter Count, 1790-91. 
The black band across his face denotes that he was 
brave and had killed enemies. The cross is the sym- 
bol for Cheyenne. This mark stands for the scars on ae 
their arms or stripes on their sleeves, and also to the 
gesture sign for this tribe. The cross is, therefore, 
the conventionalized form both for the emblem and | 
the gesture, Fic. 497.—Cheyenne. 
DAKOTA OR SIOUX, 
Fig. 498.—Standing-Bull, the great grandfather of the present Stand- 
ing-Bull, discovered the Black Hills. American-Horse’s 
Winter Count, 1775-76. He carried home with him 
a pine tree of a species he had never seen before. In 
this count the Dakotas are usually distinguished by . 
the braided scalp lock and the feather they wear at 
the crown of the head, or by the manner in which 
they brush back and tie the hair with ornamented 
strips. Many illustrations are given in the present 
paper in which this arrangement of the hair is shown 
more distinctly. 
With regard to the designation of this tribe by Fic. 498.—Dakota. 
paint it seems that pictures made by the northern Dakotas represent 
themselves as distinguished from other Indians by being painted red 
from below the eyes to the end of the chin. But this is probably rather 
a special war painting than a tribal design.
