Description:
|
From: Sioux Indian Painting. Vol. 2, p. 10: Warriors, unmounted, form a ring around the dancing court, which is surrounded by greenery. An unmounted Medicine Man, carrying a scalp suspended from its stick, precedes the entry of the mounted warriors who execute the measured figures of the opening ceremony. These mounted warriors were formerly picked men, chosen as having rescued their comrads when under fire. Drawing by Amos Bad Heart Buffalo. Translation of Notes in image (Blish, 1867, p. 493.): This is the smoothing-the-place dance. References: Blish, Helen H. A Pictographic History of the Oglala Sioux. Lincoln, Nebraska: University of Nebraska Press, 1967. p. 493.
