Pig. 1014.—The Omahas came and made peace to get their people whom 
the Dakotas held as prisoners. Cloud-Shield’s 
Winter Count, 180405. The attitudes and ex 
pressions are unusually artistic. The uniting 
line may only intensify the idea of a treaty result- 
ing in peace, but perhaps recognizes the fact that 
the Omaha (on the left) and Dakota belong to 
the same Siouan stock. The marks on the Omaha 
are not tribal, but refer to the prisoners—the 
eS UE marks of their bonds. 
Fig. 1015.—The Dakotas made peace with the Crows at Pine Bluff. 
American-Horse’s Winter Count, 1816-17. The arrow shows they had 
been at war. The Indian at the left is a Crow.. 
The distinctive and typical arrangement of the 
hair of the several tribes in this and the preceding 
figure are worthy of note.

made peace with the Paw- 
nees. Cloud-Shield’s Win- 
ter Count, 1814715. The 
man with the marked fore- 
head, blue in the original, = 
is a Pawnee, the other is a 
Dakota, whose body is smeared with clay. The four arrows show that 
they had been at war, and the clasped hands denote peace.

with the Gros Ventres. Amer- 
ican-Horse’s Winter Count, <

but that it was not waged at 
the time,.as would have been shown by two opposed arrows. 
Fig, 1015.—Dakotas made peace with the Crow Indians. The-Swan’s

mon gesture sign.
