The Warning
"In this image, a Blackfeet party encounters a Crow lance, dressed in war medicine and firmly planted in the ground as a warning that if they proceed, they are in for a fight. The arms they carry and the paint on their faces suggest that they are of a mind to accept the challenge. The Blackfeet were never shy about confronting whoever had something they wanted, or wanted something the Blackfeet had." - Howard Terpning
