INDIAN RECORD OF A BATTLE BETWEEN THE PAawNneEEs AND KONZAS, AS DELINEATED ON A BI- son ROBE.—This delineation was copied by Mr. T. R. Peale from a bison robe presented to Major O'Fallon at the Pawnee council, treated of in Vol. I. page 159, et seq. It serves to exhibit the state of the art of drawing amongst the Pawnee Indians, or rather amongst the Missouri Indians generally. The following is the subject of this sketch. A pedestrian war- party of eighteen Konzas approached the Pawnee villages for the purpose of capturing horses and taking scalps. Before their object was accomplished, they were discovered and attacked by a superior force of Pawnees on horseback, who, after an obstinate conflict, succeeded in destroying every individual of the party. In this sketch it will be remarked that 16 of the Pawnees are armed with shields which defend the whole body, with the exception of the head; the heads of many of the Pawnees are decorated with bison horns, and feathers, and others with feathers only. They are armed with spears, battle axes, and one or two fusees; one indivi- dual carries a flag of feathers, and one carries a whip; many of the horses are represented with human scalps depending from their mouths, an ornament very commonly seen on the horses of warriors; two of the horses are represented as branded. The Konzas were armed with bows and arrows and fusees; nine are represented as decapi- tated, and the wounds are indicated by the flowing of blood from the wounded part: six scalps only remain on the robe, the others probably having been obliterated. The figures were brilliantly coloured with red, yellow, black, and green, and those of the Pawnees were accompanied by some mark by which their names might be recognised. An Toway Indian, on seeing this robe, readily deciphered the whole. For further illustration of this subject, see Vol. I, pages 287, 296, and 440.
