Letter c, same plate, exhibits a number of forms and dirlerent 134 tastes of several of these little toys, which I have purchased from the women, which they were very willing to sell for a trifling present ; but in every instance, they cut them open, and removed from within a bunch of cotton or moss, the little sacred medicine, which, to part with, would be to " endanger the health of the child" a thing that no consideration would have induced them in any instance to have done. My brush has bee...n busily employed at this place, as in others ; and amongst the dignitaries that I have painted, is, first and foremost, Wa-nah-de-tunck-a the big eagle), commonly called the " Black Dog " (PLATE 234). This is a very noted man, and chief of the O-hah-kas-ka~toh-y-an-te (long avenue) band. By the side of him Toh-to-wah-kon-da-pee(t\\e blue medicine PL ATE 233), a noted medicine-man, of the Ting- tah-to-a band ; with his medicine or mystery drum, made of deer-skins; and his mystery rattles made of antelopes hoofs, in his hands.
