1813-’14.--No. I. Many had the whooping-cough. The cough is represented by the lines issuing from the man’s mouth. No. II. Food was very scarce and they had to live on acorns. The tree is intended for an oak and the marks beneath it for acorns. White-Cow-Killer calls it “Six-Rees-killed winter.” 1814-’15.--No. I. The Dakotas went to a Kaiowa village, about 6 miles from Scott’s Bluff, and near the mouth of Horse Creek, to treat for peace; but their intentions were frustrated by one of their number, who drove his hatchet into a Kaiowa’s head. No. II. They made peace with the Pawnees. The man with the blue forehead 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. White-Cow-Killer calls it “Kaiowa-hit-on-head-with-axe winter.” Young-Man’s-Horses-Afraid, _i. e._, whose horses are afraid, was born this year. He is now called “Old-Man-afraid-of-his-Horses” by the whites, and his son, the present chief of the Oglálas, is known as “Young-Man-afraid-of-his-Horses.” [The present writer has heard another interpretation about “afraid-of-his-horses,” _i. e._, that the man valued his horses so much that he was afraid of losing them. The present representative of the name, however, stated to the writer that the true meaning was “The-young-man-whose-horses-they-fear.”] 1815-’16.--No. I. The figure is intended to represent a white man’s house. No. II. Some of the Dakotas built a large house and lived in it during the winter. White-Cow-Killer calls it “Made-a-house winter.” 1816-’17.--No. I. They made peace with the Crows at Pine Bluff. The arrow shows they had been at war. No. II. They lived in the same house that they did last winter. White-Cow-Killer calls it “Made-a-house winter.” [Illustration: BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT PL.

The Oglálas had an abundance of buffalo meat and shared it with the Brulés, who were short of food. The buffalo hide hung on the drying pole, with the buffalo head above it, indicates an abundance of meat. No. II. The-Brave-Man was killed in a great fight. The fight is shown by the arrows flying to and from him. Having been killed by an enemy, he is scalped. White-Cow-Killer calls it “Plenty-of-meat winter.” 1818-’19.--No. I. A large house was built. No. II. Many died of the small-pox. White-Cow-Killer calls it “Little-small-pox winter.” 1819-’20.--No. I. Another house was built. The Dakotas made medicine in it. No. II. In an engagement with the Crows, both sides expended all of their arrows, and then threw dirt at each other. A Crow is represented on the right, and is distinguished by the manner in which the hair is worn. White-Cow-Killer calls it “Made-a-house-of-old-wood winter.”
