The Teton Sioux

Fall 1804,

We had been dreading the day we came in contact with the Teton Sioux. Their reputation was all but kind, and we knew we would have to encounter them. Although everything turned out smoothly in the end, we were on edge during the entire visit. 
I was especially interested in their fashion. I thought that the hand painted over his heart was very unusual, and I wonder what it could mean. Also, his headress what incredible extensive. That is all I could interpret; please tell me what you think his outfit could mean.

That is in interesting picture! Maybe the hand over his heart could mean he is dedicated to his tribe.
