Can anyone make out the flag Swift Bear is holding?

Hmmm. I'm inclined to agree with Dietmar now. This is Swift Bear in 1907 in Cincinnati, so I guess your photo is from round about the same time: A long shot, I know, but could this be your doctor without the beard? Swift Bear (1907 again, I think)

Is this Dr Rondot too? Beard's a little different, I know, but... Is the older man not the same older man in the middle of your photo?

Just had an interesting email from Mike Cowdrey re: Red Feather: "Note that in the Guerney portrait he is wearing on a cord around his neck a photographic card with a portrait of U.S. Grant, very likely presented to the chief by President Grant, himself, during the visit to the White House earlier the same week. On the outward journey in 1870, Red Feather had also been photographed by John H. Hamilton, in Sioux City. This was Red Feather's second visit to the Capital. He had been photographed there in 1851, by the McLees Studio." Have to say, I never made the connection but it seems obvious once it's pointed out! Thanks, Mike.

Same guy, I'd say. I wonder how much in those newspaper accounts is the truth...

I think it's a Spencer, so 1891

Finally. It's ludicrous, isn't it?

When I first found a version of this image, it was labelled Blackfoot, but it's White Cap's band. That's him in the centre leaning on the stick. Presumably, all these images in the village were taken around the same time - probably during his captivity:

This man is identified as Soup or possibly Two Crow, a Blackfoot (Blackfoot Lakota, I suspect), but, as Gregor points out, the woodcut of Poundmaker posted above is based on the photo. I'd love to see a photo of Red Pheasant! ... and this representation of Big Bear... ... is of the Hunkpapa Lakota, (The) Crow, possibly also known as Pispisa Ho Waste/Good Voice Prairie Dog: This photo is an early Barry - taken shortly after Gall and Crow King surrendered. It's hard to work out, but I wonder if that's when the photo of Two Feathers dates from. Of course, when your public is seeing images like this, accuracy is probably far from your mind: Here's another image of Poundmaker I'm curious about - a Sydney Prior Hall drawing. Labelled elsewhere as 'A buffalo hunt in the Red River Valley, the Coup de grace, In the Great North-West with the Marquis of Lorne, X, Canada, illustration from the magazine The Graphic, volume XXIV, no 626, November 26, 1881' Poundmaker in Stony Mountain prison

That description is of the famous Roman Nose of the Cheyenne

This is excellent. Date's interesting. I can't see why they would take a man from Wood Mountain on a tour like this unless he was one of those who returned to the USA in 1889, perhaps with Black Moon. I'm assuming THE Black Bull was older for he died in 1897 - though maybe not. I wonder if there were men from other tribes there or whether they were all Lakota and just given other tribal identifications to make it more exciting for the audience, as in Cody's tour of Britain in 1887
