ReplyDeleteHey K,
ReplyDeleteIt's a sort of calendar/diary used by the plains indians to keep track of a year - a famous one you can search is the Custer Year one - known as the year we lost the horse as they were rounded up and put on reservations without any horses. There's a good article here http://wintercounts.si.edu/html_version/html/index.html
Love,
