Káma-Kapúska! Making Marks in Indian Country, 1833–34

11 December 1833

Mató-Tópe was with us in the evening. [He] told me words of the Gros Ventre language and said the Dacotas had stolen two horses from them in the village, which they chased ahead of them. Since they could neither capture nor mount them, they shot them dead. The Mandans found [the animals and] saw from the tracks that there had been only two enemies. Mató-Tópe slept in our room.
