Ethnographic Notes

Sitting Bull captures two, blue roans, a particularly beautiful and coveted equine coat color. The single-trailer headdress of golden eagle feathers is a personal ornament. The headdresses worn by two officers of the Wiciska Warrior Society were distinguished by the addition of buffalo horns.
