Somewhere on the web I have read that PAH means "head" and NASULA means "brain".

Jeroen: your last image is correct. He is IRON HAWK - Hunkpapa. I've seen the same image, so labelled, in this book: "Lakota and Cheyenne. Indian views of the great Sioux war 1876-77". He was a great warrior! Can anyone to add some info about IRON HAWK - Oglala? Please, who was this man?

Still about IRON HAWK: age 14 when he rode into LBH battle with his bow and arrows and his face painted red; shot and killed a soldier on horseback with an arrow in the Custer fight. Then, joined the attack on Reno's water carriers. Still living on Standing Rock in 1929. He was a Hunkpapa, but I don't know at which band belonged him.

Wonderful and savage the image of IRON HAWK (Cetan Maza). I always have seen him labelled as Hunkpapa, not Oglala. He was born in Montana in 1862. He fought at LBH and was wounded from a bullet below the ribs. After, he made a discription of the the battle in the sign language. Other info about about him?

Still about Powder Face: he was present at Medicine Tail council in October 1867, but was not among the signers. He had a wife named Wauk and a son. Date of death: 1886.

POWDER FACE: he belonged to NAWUNENA (Southern) subdivision of Arapaho tribe, generally camped on the Arkansas River (north-west Colorado). His father, also named Powder Face, was an important chief. Powder Face junior, when he was seventeen years old, was sent on a raid against the Pawnees. Although young, he was a good horseman and when he returned he brought six scalps. For this, his father gave him thirty young warriors to be chief over. On the reserve period, he was one of the most progressive chief of his people. Judging from the first photo of this thread (Soule-1867) I think he was born around 1845. Can anyone added other info about him?

There are several translations of this name. The more usual name of this chief is KAYATENNAE from "Kay" or "Kah" (arrow) - "Yah Te" (to fight without) - "Nnè" (man or that man). My source is the historian Eve Ball. Then, the probabily more correct term should be: KAY YAH TE NNE'. But the doubt remain...

About KAE-TE-NAY (this is the correct indian's name) I have this translation: "He fight without arrows". Born in 1861 in the Mimbreno band, he died in 1918 of pneumonia in the Mescalero Reserve (New Mexico). He had two wives and a son called Kaywaykla.

In the book "Plains Indian Raiders" the author Wilbur S. Nye, about the photo posted by Dietmar for me, labelled the indian second from left "...the famous chief PARRA-O-COOM. To me, his face appear more round and fat than the face of Horseback's son. What a pity we don't have a best resolution of this image for make a comparison more detailed. The first part of the name KOBAY-O-BURRA derived from Comanche word "kobe" meaning "mustang". The second part I don't know.

Naiches2: wonderful your two vintage photos of WILD HORSE! I never seen before. Somebody have any info about this mysterious but important chief? About HE BEAR (Parua Kuhma is correct): my info are that in Spring of 1873 his village was camped near Fort Sill, waiting the restitution of some prisoners. In this occasion, he meets the famous photographer Soule, that made some photos. May be that in one of these images also appears He Bear. Later I send to Dietmar the photo in question. I like this chief because he always was enemy of the Whites. He not signed the treaty of Medicine Lodge in 1867. He died of pneumonia in 27 June 1874.

ISA-TAI (meaning "Wolf's dung" ... a very curious name!) surrended at Fort Sill (Oklahoma) in June 1875. He died in the Reserve in 1890.

Many thanks, Agnes. Indeed a great work! So, it's right the identification of Dietmar: the man standing second in the b/w photo is Double Vision, not Mamanti!
