Saw some of these on the Colorado Historical Society website; can't remember where the rest came from. The handwritten annotation says this is Sitting Bull, but it's White Eagle, the Ponca headman, isn't it? So, presumably, this next photo features another two Ponca: Here's a Stilwell photo of Wooden Leg. THE Wooden Leg? Or a Lakota like the other Stilweel photos I'm familiar with? A Macy and Doughty (a firm based in Norfolk, Nebraska) photo of Plenty Horses, "murderer of Lt Casey", and his companion, John Bowie??? It's clearly not Plenty Horses A shot of a Lakota camp, dared around 1880 (not from the same site), but my guess is that it's later, maybe one of those taken around the time of Wounded Knee Crows? A dance group D. F. Barry's Daylight Man - elsewhere identified as Eagle Crow Unidientified Ormsby - Black Dog, taken at Wolf Point Unidentified group (Arapaho?): Another Macy and Doughty; this time a group photo:

Grahame, I agree to all your comments. The unidentified group (Arapahos?) are in Cheyennes as well, among them Little Bear, Starving Bear and others, but also Left Hand (the younger), who was Arapaho. I must have a clearer scan somewhere.

Of course. Thanks. I think the man in the warbonnet by the wooden fence may be a Snell

In my opinion, this is the South Ponca leader known as Xitha Ska (aka Albino Golden Eagle, aka White Eagle).

Three photos of the Ponca man known as White Eagle for comparison.
