A Scout Reporting to the Leader of a War Party
Ethnographic Notes
Pages 27-28: A Scout Reporting to the Leader of a War Party. The scout, at far right on page 28, pointing perhaps to alert the party to the presence of enemies, wears a turban of spotted fur, either of bobcat or juvenile mountain lion. He is addressing the leader, who is signalized as a member of the elite Onde class, by a curved feather stuck into the band of his straw hat. The scout's news appears to have galvanized the party, who are mounting up for action. See the discussion on pages 29-30, for the likelihood that this young scout with the spotted turban may be Etahdleuh.
The man at far left on page 27, considered the bravest man in the Kiowa tribe, is Sitting Bear (Set-angya), wearing the unique "black rope," or sash, of the Ka'itsenko Warrior Society
