content: Red tipi model (Doguadal). Red with black dot at top with model of scalp attached, cow tail pendant at back, row of flannel-wrapped hair locks down sides. Prairie dog pelt door. Horsehair tassles at ends of poles. Records: It originated in a dream of Adalsedalti and was occupied by him until his death in 1882 at the age of 65. From the small green sun at the top back should be suspended a decorated human scalp with attached fringe. Similar scalps should be suspended in a row down both sides of the front. For the latter, buffalo tails should be substituted (all are of hair on this model). Door should be of an entire panther skin with hair outside, as the small skin is meant to represent. Informants: Tsonkiada, Haba. Model by Tsonkiada. (C). Associated names: Adalsedalti; Tsonkiada; Haba. (from Merrill, William L. et al. 1997.
