I have seen various identifications for this picture.

What I believe is... these are men from Standing Rock: sitting on left Crazy Walking, sitting on right Big Head and standing behind Young Fire Heart.

The caption "who killed Sitting Bull" is wrong of course.

Hi Kingsley,
In every census I've seen the spelling is Cantepeta and I can't find anywhere the full meaning. I'll take your spelling any day. Also, Fire Heart, is buried just outside Fort Yates, and the Tombstone has engraved Hilarion Fireheart. I could not find anything on Hilarion and I'm assuming that the family down the line changed Fire Heart to Fireheart. It does have the same dates as Fire Heart V. I haven't been able to find anything on Alkier yet.
Sincerely,
Dino
