 The present chief of this tribe is Notch-ee-ning-a (the White Cloud, Plate 129), the 

 son of a very distinguished chief of the same name, who died recently, after gaining 

 the love of his tribe and the respect of all the civilized world who knew him. 



The son of White Cloud, who is now chief, and whose portrait I have just named, 

 was tastefully dressed with a buffalo robe wrapped around him, with a necklace of 

 grizzly bears' claws on his neck ; with shield, bow, and quiver on, and a profusion of 

 wampum strings on his neck. — G. C.
