Landmark 'A Pictographic History of the Oglala Sioux' back in print for 50th anniversary

1 of 5

The Sun Dance

This image, titled "The Sun Dance" is a portrayal of a group of women watching one of the acts of the Sun Dance ritual through the pine-bough barricade that surrounds the dance ground as reproduced from "A Pictographic History of the Oglala Sioux, 50th Anniversary Edition" by Amos Bad Heart Bull and edited by Helen Blish, by permission of the University of Nebraska Press.

Long Hair came with a challenge

This note in Lakota for this drawing states "Long Hair came with a challenge." The opposing forces are identified as General Custer, Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse in English. It is part of the series of Little Big Horn drawings by Amos Bad Heart Bull.

The cover of 50th Anniversary edition of "A Pictographic History of the Oglala Sioux."

This drawing by Amos Bad Heart Bull shows lances of two different Oglala societies. It's most interesting feature is the foreshortened, three-quarter view of the last horse, a departure from traditional Plains Indian painting/drawing style.

This drawing by Amos Bad Heart Bull depicts the return of victorious Oglala warriors from an expedition against the Crows. The leading warrior in the line is the artist's father, Bad Heart Bull. The last warrior is his uncle Short Bull.

The Sun Dance

This image, titled "The Sun Dance" is a portrayal of a group of women watching one of the acts of the Sun Dance ritual through the pine-bough barricade that surrounds the dance ground as reproduced from "A Pictographic History of the Oglala Sioux, 50th Anniversary Edition" by Amos Bad Heart Bull and edited by Helen Blish, by permission of the University of Nebraska Press.

This note in Lakota for this drawing states "Long Hair came with a challenge." The opposing forces are identified as General Custer, Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse in English. It is part of the series of Little Big Horn drawings by Amos Bad Heart Bull.

The cover of 50th Anniversary edition of "A Pictographic History of the Oglala Sioux."

This drawing by Amos Bad Heart Bull shows lances of two different Oglala societies. It's most interesting feature is the foreshortened, three-quarter view of the last horse, a departure from traditional Plains Indian painting/drawing style.

This drawing by Amos Bad Heart Bull depicts the return of victorious Oglala warriors from an expedition against the Crows. The leading warrior in the line is the artist's father, Bad Heart Bull. The last warrior is his uncle Short Bull.
