The English title names the Minatarres, a Hidatsa-speaking people whose earth lodges stood along the upper Missouri in what is now North Dakota. Winter was when these villages were most tightly packed, with families sheltering in dome-shaped lodges while the summer gardens and open ground lay under snow. The shelflist card links the print to Karl Bodmer, the Swiss-born artist who traveled up the Missouri with Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied in 1833 and 1834 and recorded the peoples and landscapes they met. The card gives no date, so the attribution and timing are best treated as provisional until they can be checked against other sources.
