content: It is presumed that Eastman based this oil painting on earlier sketches of similar subjects (cf. 2860 ZZ 5 A). Also similar to engraving in Schoolcraft's Indian Tribes of the United States ("differs principally in that the man seated beside the tipi on the right, smoking, has been omitted," page 101, McDermott).
