 The first of these two young men (No. 189, Ka-bes-kuuk) is, no doubt, one of the 

 , most remarkable of his age to be found in the tribe. Whilst he was standing for his 

 portrait, which was in one of the officer's quarters iu the fort, where there were some 

 ten or fifteen of his enemies, the Sioux, seated on the floor around the room ; he told me 

 to take particular pains in representing eight quills which were arranged in his head- 

 dress, which he said stood for so many Sioux scalps that he had taken with his left 

 hand, in which he was grasping his war-club, with which hand he told me he was in 

 the habit of making all his blows. — G. C.

MR. catlin's NOTES ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIANS. 



As the Sioux own and occupy all the country on the west bank of the river iu this 

 vicinity, so do the Chippeways claim all lying east, from the mouth of the Chii)pe- 

 way River, at the outlet of Lake Pepin, to the source of the Mississippi; and within 

 the month past, there have been 1,000 or more of them encamped here, on busines.s 

 with the Indian agent and Sioux, with whom they have recently liad some difficulty. 

 These two hostile foes, who have, time out of mind, been continually at war, are now 

 encamped here, on different sides of the fort; and all difficulties having been ar- 

 ranged by their agent, in whose presence they have been making their speeches, for 

 these two weeks i)ast, have been indulging in every sort of their amusements, unitinj.; 

 in their dances, ball-plays, and other games ; and feasting and smoking together, only 

 to raise the war-cry and the tomahawk again, when they get ui)on their hunting 

 grounds.— G. C, Fort Snelling, 18u5.
