Forum, what is the best source for viewing Native Americans in the 19th century? I am new at researching this part of history. I have data bases for the Civil War soldiers. I hate having images in my collection with out doing my best to identify the people. I love the way you guys strive to identify images of history. Is there any thing to look for that certain tribes wear? The man standing has what looks like a winchester rifle under his blanket. Dating this tintype to probably the 1860's would they be allowed to carry a rifle unless they were a police? What is the badge he is wearing? Thank you for the help. Bill

I collect historic images and the seller thought they were Arapaho or Cheyenne since it came from Southern California. One can be told anything. I had stumbled onto this great site and noticing the study of the American Indians. The history of the Indian has always fascinated me and the sadness of how they were treated. I would like put names on these two if possible with the help and expertise of the forum. Thank you Dietmar for posting the picture. Bill
