Good afternoon, Has this photograph been explored elsewhere on this site? If so, could you direct me to it? If not, can anyone identify the group? National Archives states, "Large delegation with several agents and other officials on the White House Grounds. Mathew Brady Collection photograph, before 1877. National Archives Identifier 528748." catalog.archives.gov/id/528748 Many thanks.

Hello rschliesman,
the photograph was taken by Mathew Brady on Thursday, December 31, 1857. In the winter of 1857/58 several delegations of Indian nations came to Washington D.C, to negotiate treaties with the U.S. government. In the photo above are delegates of the Ponca, Potawatomi, Sauk/Sac and Pawnee with their interpreters.
