10 An outline of a horse in lead pencil is overdrawn with three yellow owls. Great horned owls are tan, have plumicorns that resemble cat ears like these images, and are found in the plains region of Dodge City, so these are likely great horned owls. The Cheyenne man Making Medicine, who drew several ledgers while imprisoned at Ft. Marion, shows the great-horned owl drawn in a similar fashion (National Anthropological Archives, Smithsonian Institution, 39A, 12). The barred tail and prominent ears are distinctive among birds. From the front, the foreshortened beak does flatten out. Peter J. Powell writes of owls in the Dodge City 1879 ledger notebooks (PILA ledger �Hagetta-KSHS,� page 60): �A surprising subject in Cheyenne art, for owls are usually indentified with spirits of the dead, and are avoided by the Cheyenne people (correspondence with Ramon Powers 17 April 1984). 11 Reversed, five women stand in a row, in profile. They wear two blue blankets, one red, and two Navajo chief's blankets, second phase. They wear no facepaint, and for each, one braid hangs down the visible shoulder. Like all these images, no facial features appear. Leggings vary slightly in color: two red, one blue, one black (pencil fill), one no color (white or bare leg?). Dress panels of trade cloth are visible beneath the blankets. The central figure is the most ornamented and is slightly larger in size than the others.
