Major Bush says the same, adding, after the words “Red-Fish’s-Son,” “The-Ass.”
Interpreter A. Lavary said, in 1867, that The-Elk-that-Hollows-Walking, then chief of the Minneconjous, was then at Spotted-Tail’s camp. His father was Red-Fish. He was the elder brother of Lone-Horn. His name is given as A-hag-a-hoo-man-ie, translated The Elk’s-Voice-Walking, compounded of He-ha-ka, elk, and Omani, walk—this according to Lavary’s literation. The correct literation of the Dakota word meaning elk is heqaka; voice ho; and to walk, walking, mani. Their compound would be Heqaka ho mani, the translation being the same as above given.
1861-’62.—No. I. Buffalo very plenty.
No. II. Buffalo were so plenty that their tracks came close to the tipis. The cloven hoof-mark is cleverly distinguished from the tracks of horses in the character for 1849-’50.
No. III. Dakotas had unusual abundance of buffalo.
1862-’63.—No. I. Red-Plume kills an enemy.
No. II. Red-Feather, a Minneconjou, was killed. His feather is shown entirely red, while the “one-feather” in 1842-’43 has a black tip.
No. III. A Minneconjou Dakota killed an Assiniboine named Red-Feather.
Mato Sapa says: Minneconjous kill an Assiniboine named Red-Feather.
