440. Buffalo Dance, Mandan/Numakiki, with the mask of the buffalo on.

Danced to make buffalo come, when they are like to starve for want of food. Song to the Great Spirit, imploring him to send them buffalo, and they will cook the best of it for him.

Painted by George Catlin, 1796-1872, American.
