Wi-lóoh-tah-eeh-tcháh-ta-máh-nee, Red Thing That Touches in Marching, Daughter of Black Rock

“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.
