The Book of Woodcraft
Cut II is an example of this. The seat should be not
more than two feet .from the ground, and even at that
height should have a footstool.
The stool J is of white man's construction, but Indian
decoration, in red, black and white.
The log seat, or Council seat, K, is a useful thing that each
Band should make in the Council ring. It is simply a log
flattened on top, on the front side. It has a board back,
supported on two or three stakes, as shown in L. This is
designed for the "Otters."
HEAD-BAND
Each brave needs a head-band. This holds his feathers
as they are won and his scalp if he wears one is fastened to it
behind. It consists of a strip of soft leather, long enough to
go around the head and overlap by two inches; it is fastened
at the rear, with a lace through the four holes, like the lace
of machine belting. A bead pattern ornaments the front
and it may be finished at each side in some broader design.
It is the foundation for the warbonnet and has places for
twenty-four feathers (two eagle tails). See Warbonnet
later.
