Abstract
Description by Edward S. Curtis: "Symbolically painted tipis are frequently observed among the Piegan. Sometimes incidents in the owner's career, especially as a warrior, are depicted, but more often as in this picture, the painting is conventional, and imitative of a tipi seen by the owner in a vision." source Library of Congress, American Memory website
