Many of the Smithsonian winter counts are copies that their keepers made specifically at the request of people studying Indian culture; they are particularly valuable because of the explanations that the keepers provided about the events that they record. This extensive information is included here in the 'View the Winter Counts' section of the web site. The winter count keeper's notes are the foundation for interpreting the many counts now in museums that were acquired without any explanation, such as the Rosebud count and the buffalo hide copy of the Lone Dog count that are shown here.
