“She is an unmarried girl, and much esteemed by the whole tribe \[Western Sioux/Lakota\], for her modesty, as well as beauty. She was beautifully dressed in skins, ornamented profusely with brass buttons and beads. Her hair was plaited, her ears supported a great profusion of curious beads---and over her other dress she wore a handsomely garnished buffalo robe.” Geore Catlin painted this portrait at Fort Pierre in 1832.
