Carnegie Winter Count
Thomas Red Owl Haukaas, M.D. (1950- ), Sicangu (Brule) Lakota/Creole, 1995
In this unique contemporary winter count, Dr. Haukaas depicted 125 yearly events, from 1868-1869 to 1992-1993, for the Sicangu Lakota people on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. In place of the count keeper, he created a drawing book that gives an explanation for each year. Select an icon to see his explanation. Dr. Haukaas began the winter count with the creation of the reservation in 1868-1869 and ended with the 500th anniversary of Columbus' encounter with Native Americans.
