OJIBWA. 
led 
Carver (a), writing in 1776—78, tells that an Ojibwa drew the desig- 
nation of his own tribe as a deer. The honest captain of provincial 
troops may have mistaken a clan mark to be a tribal mark, but the 
account is mentioned for what it is worth, and the context serves to 
support the statement. 
3 OMAHA, 
Fig. 504 is the tribal designation of the Omahas 
by the Dakotas, taken from the Winter Count of 
Battiste Good, for the year 174445. Thepictograph 
is a human head with cropped hair and red cheeks. 
It is afront view. This tribe cuts the hair short and 
uses red paint upon the cheeks very extensively. 
This character is of frequent occurrence in Battiste 
Good’s count.

Fig. 505.—The Dakotas killed an Omaha in the 
night. Cloud-Shield’s Winter Count, 1806-07.

does not show the color of the cheeks.
