Chapter title illustration from "american indian life," published 1922. Edited by elsie clews parsons with illustrations by c. Grant la farge. Illustrator's notes: "takes-the-pipe, a crow warrior. The center, a pair of crazy-dog sashes. Also the figures connected with the warrior's visions—the moon, the buffalo, the bear. The stick used by the hammer stick society; that used in counting "coup"; that planted in the ground by the aspirant for the rank of chief, as he leads in fight. At top, the moths the boy rubbed on his chest; takes-the-pipe's moccasins; at bottom his captured horses. At sides, a skin ornament worn by crow medicine men. ". Date: 1922.
