These are Lakota from Pine Ridge who performed at Hagenbeck´s Tierpark in Hamburg, Germany in 1910:

A little more on Asay... He had been appointed post trader at Pine Ridge despite being caught embezzling money in Chicago in 1888 and was expelled from Pine Ridge for selling whiskey and allowing gambling in his store in 1891. It was AFTER he was expelled from Pine Ridge that he opened his store in Rushville, some 26 miles outside the reservation, but 'was still permitted to use the reservation at his convenience and defraud the Indians by charging them exorbitant prices for goods sold under the Buffalo Bill trading combination.' codyarchive.org/texts/wfc.nsp08130.html In 1897, Red Cloud and other Lakota made a complaint to Committee on Indian Affairs and demanded Asay be removed from Rushville for this 'misconduct.' Aware that Wild West Show recruiters were not welcomed by reservation officials, he attempt to visit the Lakota settlements discreetly to engage gather people not only for Cody, but also for Doc Carver, Whitney and the Kickapoo Medicine Company (presumably the Omaha Charlie Bristol incarnation). Cody assumed he was working solely on his behalf and when he found he wasn't, he ended business ties with him. No date for this, unfortunately. In 1892, Asay had been charged by Captain Brown, an army officer at Pine Ridge, of encouraging Lakota to go to Rushville where the rail line was, in order to get them drunk and then arrested. The only way they could raise their bail, set at $1000, was to serve with Doc Carver's Wild America

Once again to the first Rushville photo. The man in the second row, to the left of the tree, with horned bonnet is Eagle Horn. The white man lying on the ground is Col. Fred Cummins.

Thanks, Grahame.
Frankly, I wouldn‘t rely too much on the identifications on the Carter Museum site. The man called Low Dog there is the same labeled Kicking Bear further down. And we habe portraits of Luke Low Dog, that clearly show another man. Other portraits at Carter, as you said, are also labeled wrong.
This series of 1903 tour photos is indeed frustrating. There at many of these portraits around, on museum and auction sites, but it is hard to find trustworthy identifications. Even if the pictures got names written on photos’ back, they often are clearly wrong.

However, these are some of my own IDs:
P1967.695: Ghost Dog
P1967.694: Black Heart
P1967.693: Plucks Porcupine aka Iron Elk
P1967.689: Painted Horse
P1967.690: Last Horse
P1967.691: Charging Thunder aka Good Horse
The last ID is probably not correct. Wolfgang has sent me a note that he is Strikes Plenty instead.
