I agree that the image was not taken at Fort Rice in 1868. William T. Hughes was Indian Agent at Standing Rock from Dec. 1876 to October 1878. And he did have a daughter named Ella, born about 1869. I am not sure how long he remained in Dakota Territory after his term as agent but he had certainly moved back to Chicago by 1880. John H. Hammond (1830-1890) served as superintendent of Dakota Superintendency from 1877 to 1880. As I recall, his office was in Yankton but he visited Standing Rock on a number of occasions. I think this information would bracket the photograph as having been taken some time between 1877 and 1880 -- probably either 1877 or 1878. Ah - I have found proof that John Hammond was at Standing Rock in 1877. See attached scan from autograph book of my great aunt Louise Picotte DeGrey Van Solen. Attachments:

Here my belated "five pence" to the topic. We have Alma Galpin Parkin and Louise Van Solen (both daughters of Eagle Woman Picotte Galpin) in the above picture. Alma married Henry S. Parkin in January 1879, Louise married George Van Solen in April 1879. The "John H. Hammond time" has been mentioned already above. I assume the photo has been shot in summer 1879. Otherwise the Galpin women would have been identified with their maiden name.
