Lakota attack on tipi village.

Ethnographic Notes

A Lakota attack on an enemy Indian tipi village, either Crow or Shoshone. Bay mare w/white stockings, unpainted; Cante T'inza (Strong Heart) Warrior Society lance banner of black & white feathers. As Sitting Bull is known to have been a member of the Wiciska Warrior Society, this appears to be a depiction of one of his relatives or war comrades; and the warrior's shield is entirely different than the several depictions of Sitting Bull's blue & yellow shield.
