Plate 70 



70 Canadian. A combination of the horned owl and heart; 

 land dots and water signs ••'/ signify travel; the curved lines 



J- -^ and two divided lines are winding paths and journeys. 



71 An unusually large brooch. The outer circles at the 

 points sometimes signify moons. This would count 24 moons. 



The nr) in the center is the sign of camping. I should call this 

 a war brooch. Sometimes these lines are simply ornamenta- 

 tions and doubtful to interpret unless signified in combination 

 with other symbols. 



72 A rare battle brooch, the upper end a tomahawk combining 

 the war clubs (3) at each point. 



73 Canadian. An uncommon variety of the double heart; 

 the five circles are possibly a five nation symbol. 



74 Not unusual, same type as fig. 71. 



75, 76 These brass brooches are found in the west, notably 

 among the Sacs and Fox tribes.
