Hunts-by-Scent, or Wanasa pi es Omna, is the younger brother of the two Lakota Souix warriors. Like all of his family he is tall and muscular, his dark 'red' skin is typical for his kin, and the long black hair, braided down his back, with a few leather thongs and eagle feathers, leaves no guesswork as to his heritage. He wears a traditonal warshirt right now, the leather shirt bares a row of ermine tails across the front, while strips of white beadwork race down the arms inset with geometric designs. Leather leggings cover his legs, while a woolen breach clout hangs down in front and behind his private areas decorated with ivory buttons and brass sequins taken in trade. A hatchet hangs from his belt, a long bow and a quiver are slung over his back. A pipe bag, covered in procupine quillwork hangs from the otherside of his belt. Patially beaded moccasins cover his feet that dangle off his horse. For he rides a calico pony, painted with white hand prints. No saddle is on his horse, but a set of bags hangs over the sides of the horse, camping gear within. Laying across his lap is a long Remington Rifle. With slow speach the guide, tracker, and scout finishes his story, "...what else could I do but run out of her lodge as fast as I could as her Hi (husband) woke up!" He laughs at his own tale as his horse moves along at a slow walk looking over at his brother Iya Kagi Taka, Speaks-to-Ravens.
