This just arrived. Both writers are excellent. There are several Posthumus articles available on the net and Andersson's books on the Ghost Dance are required reading. And, it's University of Oklahoma Press book. The illustrations though... There are three Red Hawk drawings reproduced - not the originals but the copies made by W. Ben Hunt. BOTH are credited to Sitting Bull and are reproduced courtesy of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West and come from the Sitting Bull Ledger Drawings Collection.  Sitting Bull Kills Crow; Takes Four Scalps. I think the name at the top is actually Itkomi inyanke(?)  Crow Eagle Runs Off a Band of Horses. I'm afraid I don't have a larger copy of this  Ghost Shirt Protecting a Sioux Escape Maybe their picture reseracher just slipped up badly, though I'm baffled by the misunderstanding and the fact the mistake wasn't caught... |

The errors are indeed puzzling. From top to bottom: Running Spider (Iktomi Inyanke), Eagle Crow (Kangi Wanbli), Red Living Bear (Mato Niya Luta).

And, if memory serves, it's an Oglala ledger, isn't it?

Makes me wonder about the cataloguing at the Buffalo Bill in the first place

I do not have the book but am curious of the cover painting. Is there any kind of explanation for those smokeflaps in those tiipiis

No, but it's a work called Honoured by the contemporary Lakota artist Wanbli Mayasleca aka Francis Yellow
