From the Edward Curtis Collection: "The Rush Gatherer - Arikara"

The Arikara are a tribe in North Dakota. According to Wikipedia, their language appears to be close to Pawnee.

"The Arikara's name is believed to mean "horns", in reference to the ancient custom of wearing two upright bones in their hair. The name also could mean "elk people" or "corn eaters". - Wikipedia
