Crow war bundle of Two Leggings

Summary[edit]

Description
Dansk: Krigsbundt ejet af river crowen Two Leggings (1840erne – april 1923). Bundtet blev skabt af Weasel Moccasin, der solgte det videre til Two Leggings’ bror, som solgte det videre til sin lillebror. (1) En fjer i et halsbånd til at binde om halsen på en hest, så den kunne løbe hurtigere. (2) En fjer med samme virkning. (3) En pose med urter til at give en træt hest nye kræfter. (4) Bjørnepels og –kløer til at lægge om halsen på en hest, så den altid var i tip-top form. (5) En svaleham der sikrede ejeren evnen til at undslippe sine fjender ved at være hurtig som fuglen. (6) Et blåt klæde for held. (7) Et odderskind med en påsat ørneklo som skulle bæres af ejeren over venstre skulder og under højre arm, så han kunne slå til mod fjenden som en ørn. (8) En hestehov (ikke med på fotografiet). (9) Et kulørt bånd på genstand nr. 10 som et symbol for himlen set af Weasel Moccasin i sin vision. (10) Et ørnehoved at bære under kamp. (11) En ørnefjer at fæste til baghovedet op til en kamp for at få de samme færdigheder som rovfuglen.
English: War bundle of River Crow warrior Two Leggings (1840s – April 1923). The bundle was made by Weasel Moccasin, sold to an older brother of Two Leggings, who transferred it to his younger brother. (1) A feather necklace was tied round the horse's neck to make it run faster. (2) The same principle is symbolized by an eagle-plume attached to a hawk-feather. (3) The bag of herbs is used as a medicine for the horse whenever it becomes weary. (4) The bear-hair and bear-claws fastened round the horse's neck kept the horse fat and in prime condition. (5) The swallow is significant of the power to fly speedily through a flock of its kind without touching one; the owner of the medicine therefore was able to evade a number of enemies unharmed. (6) The blue cloth represents good luck. (7) An otter-skin used as a necklace with an attached eagle-claw. It was worn over the left shoulder and under the right arm. The warrior would then get a power equal to the power of the eagle to pounce upon its pray. (8) A horse's hoof (not shown) to make it easy to capture horses. (9) The colored ribbons, attached to no. 10, are a symbol of the sky as seen in the vision. (10) When going into battle the owner ties to his chest the eagle's head and sings the medicine songs. He gets the power of flight and vision of the bird. (11) An eagle-feather head-ornament, worn attached to the back of the head, has the same symbolic value as no. 10.
