A Saainiboin warrior kills Spotted Horse (about 1898).
The cemetery of eagle feathers is an uncommon style:
the feathers are in a back position compared to the front,
covering the whole head.
Spotted Horse belongs to the Indians of the Plain.
The pride in his eyes and his bearing make a spectacular picture of him.
Spotted Horse belongs to the Assinibion Tribe.
That tribe was born in 1640 and lived near the Assiniboin and Saskatchewan river.
Buffalos hunters, they were among the first ones to exchange trading activities with the “whites” through the “barter”.
From them at the beginning of the XIX century they contracted the smallpox and were decimated.
Today it is possible to find reservations in Canada, in the South Dakota or in Montana.
