LaDonna sent the photo below in hopes you can help her with its identification. The jpg is called "1930 Sioux and Ole" but that is all of the information she was given. Can you tell her who, what, where and when? Thanks!  |

Hello Diane, Ladonna,
There is a photo in the collection of the ND State Historical Society, almost identical, but also includes Frank Zahn, a well-known Lakota interpreter of the 20s and 30s. No info is given on either date or location though.
Identification from left to right:
Lean Warrior, White Bear, Ole Eielson, ? (illegible), White Buffalo, Elk ...? (partly illegible)
Quick google search learns that Ole Eielson was a prominent Hatton, ND citizen, father to early aviator Carl "Ben" Eielson.
Hope this helps somewhat,
Carlo
