- Fig. 616.—Man-with-hearts. Red-Cloud’s Cen- 
sus. There is no information as to the significance 
of this drawing, but it is conjectured that the war- 
rior had eaten the heart of one or more enemies, as 
was frequently done. This was not cannibalism, 
but a superstitious and sometimes ceremonial per- 
formance, by which the eater acquired the qualities 
of the vietim, and in this case would be supposed 
to have more than one heart, i. e., the courage 
attributed to those hearts. 
Fig. 617.—Takes-the-Gun. Red-Cloud’s Census. 
It appears from the name that the man is not 
handling his own gun, but is on the point of grasp- 
ing and taking away the weapon of another person. 
Fig. 618.—Jola, Whistler. The Oglala Roster. 
This is one of the instances where the usual rule 
in the Oglala Roster, of representing the name 
above the head, is abandoned, because it is essen- 
tial to connect it with the mouth to express the 
whistle. Without this arrangement the musical 
instrument would not be suggested. 
Fig. 619.—American-Horse’s Winter Count for 
1872~73 gives the pictograph of Whistler, also 
named Little-Bull. Both of his names appear; 
that of Whistler is expressed by the sounds blown 
from the mouth. He whistles without an instru- 
ment. 
Fig. 620.—Ceji, Tongue. The Oglala Roster. 
This man was not necessarily an orator, but proba- 
bly the nickname was given in derision as orally 
“tonguey” might be. Again the line is from the 
crown of the head to the protruded tongue. 
Fig. 621.—Canku-sapa, Black-Road. The Oglala 
Roster. This road, on which horse tracks are 
shown, is distinguished from that of the head 
chief Big-Road (a, on Pl. xxv1) as being much- 
more narrow and obscure, therefore black.
