NIGHT. 
Fig. 1135.—Kills-the-Enemy-at-Night. Red-Cloud’s Census. Night 
is indicated by the black circle around the 
head, suggesting the covering over with dark- 
ness, aS is shown in the common gesture for 
night, made by passing both flat hands from 
their respective sides, inward and down- 
ward, before the body. The sign for kill is 
denoted here by the bow in contact with the 
Fic. 1135. head, in accordance with a custom among the 
Dakota of striking the dead enemy with the bow or coup stick. 
Fig. 1136.— Kills-Enemy-at-Night. Red- 
oud’s Census. This drawing is similar to 
the preceding. The differentiation is sufficient 
to allow of a distinction between the two char- 
acters, each representing the 
same name, though belonging 
to two different men.

Fig. 1139.—A Crow chief, Flat- 
Head, comes into the tipi of a 
Dakota chief, where a council was ca 
assembled. Flame’s Winter 
Count, 185253. The night is 
shown by the black top of the tipi. 
Fig. 1140 is taken from Copway (/). It 
represents “night.” 
A typical Indian gesture for night, illus- 
trated by Fig. 1141, is: Place the flat hands horizontally about 2 feet 
apart, move them quickly in an upward curve toward one another until 
the right lies across the left. ‘‘ Darkness covers all.” 
Fic, 1139. 
Fic. 1140.—Ojibwa.
