Check out the Three Affiliated Tribes Museum, New Town ND. They have an original painted buffalo robe there detailing the original owner’s exploits.Including killing a noted Cheyenne war leader in a pre -arranged duel.

Kinda sad was a painted exploit where the guy lay waiting hidden in brush for six days outside a Chippewa village until the opportunity came to kill and scalp a woman and daughter early in the morning and make his escape. All that endurance and daring for such a petty and tragic outcome.

In Kansas there’s a Pawnee museum not far off I35.

In that museum there’s a medicine bundle. The owner and his young daughter were out on the plains in the 1870’s when they were surrounded by enemy Lakota. The father, the owner of the bundle, put his daughter on a horse with the bundle and she escaped.

For the next few generations the bundle was passed down in the family but nobody opened it because they didn’t know the correct songs. Eventually someone in the family gave it to the museum, where it still sits, unopened.
