The evening was spent in feasting and rejoicing among the relations of the successful warriors ; but sounds of grief and wailing were heard from the hills adjacent to the village : the lamentations of women who had lost some relative in the foray.
An Indian village is subject to continual agitations and excitements.
The next day arrived a deputation of braves from the Cheyenne or Shienne nation ; a broken tribe, cut up, like the Aricaras, by wars with the Sioux, and driven to take refuge among ...the Black hills, near the Digitized by LjOOQ IC I RETURN OF A WAR PARTY. 18S sources of the Cheyenne river, from which they derive their name.
One of these deputies was magniBcently arrayed in a buffalo robe, on which various figures were fancifully embroidered with split quills dyed red and yellow ; and the whole was fringed with the slender hoofs of young fawns, that rattled as he walked.
The arrival of this deputation was the signal for another of those ce- remonials which occupy so much of Indian life ; for no being is more courtly and punctilious, and more observant of etiquette and formality than an American savage; The object of the deputation was to give notice of an intended visit of the Shienne (or Cheyenne) tribe to the Aricara village in the course of fifteen days.
