422 PICTURE-WRITING OF THE AMERICAN INDIANS. 
a. Represents Tatanka-he-luta, Red-horn-Bull. The bull’s horns have 
been made bloody by goring. 
b. Represents Cetan-watakpe, Charging-Hawk. This subchief also 
appears with a slightly different form of “charging” in Red-Cloud’s 
Census, in which the bird is represented head downward. 
Fig. 541.—Charging-Hawk, from Red-Cloud’s Census, 
No, 142. On careful examination the bird is seen to be 
not erect, as at first appears, but is swooping down. 
Fic. 541.— Charging- 
Hawk. 
c. Represents Wiyaka-aopazan, Wears-the-Feather. The feather in 
its conventional form is presented twice, once connected by a line with 
the mouth and also over the war club as in common with other pictures 
of this series. The same person is represented next below. 
Fig. 542.—Feather-on-his-Head, from Red-Cloud’s Cen- 
‘Wsus, No. 86. In this case the feather droops while it is 
erect in the figure next above. No significance is indi- 
cated in the slight variation. 
Fig. 542,—Feather- 
on-his-Head.

object over the head of the small human figure, which is without the 
proper number of legs, Showing perhaps that he can not march, and 
his open, weaponless hands say that he is not a warrior, i. e., he is a 
boy. The object, now translated shell, was originally a large excres- 
cence on the trunk of a tree which was often cut away by the Dakotas, 
hollowed out and used as a bowl. 
e. Mato-niyanpi, The-Bear-spares-him. The bear passing through 
the marks of several tracks indicates an incident not explained, in 
which the subchief was in danger. 
J. Represents Cetan-maza, Iron-Hawk. The bird is colored blue, as 
before explained. ’ 
g. Represents Kangi-luta, Red-Crow. 
h. Represents Situpi-ska, White-Tail. The bird is probably one of 
the hawks, as is more distinetly indicated in the representation of the 
same name as follows:
