This Plate XLV from the Tenth Annual Report preserves indigenous pictographic records of Sioux warriors who fell in the famous 1876 battle, rendered in the distinctive Plains Indian style with profile figures, ceremonial regalia, and traditional weapons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe composition presents warriors in characteristic ledger art conventions: yellow and red body paint, feathered headdresses, rifles, lances, and decorated shields. Each figure represents a specific individual, identifiable to contemporary viewers by their unique regalia and markings. The upper register shows a formal procession, while lower groupings capture the chaos of battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plate stands as a remarkable document: Native American testimony preserved within government ethnographic records.
