Keeping track of time
National Museum of the American Indian, Cultural Resources Center. Lone Dog Winter Count. 1800-1970.
Long ago, the Dakota kept track of time by designing a Winter Count. Each winter, the principal people of the village would get together and decide the most important event that happened that past year. Then the historian of the village would make one picture on a large buffalo hide. Each picture represents one year.
