Sorry to be such a klutz, but I can't post the photo from SIRIS. It's the Alexander Gardner portrait of Walking Shooter from the 1872 Grand River Agency delegation, NAA INV 06524900, OPPS NEG 03183A. There is a copy of this portrait in the Col. A. B. Welch papers at Standing Rock Tribal Archives, with the handwritten caption on back of the frame - 'Belly Fat'. The distinctive facial features in the Barry image are indeed of the same man. Belly Fat and Walking Shooter are one and the same man.

Additional information regarding the Gardner photo of Walking Shooter says: Last Surviving Chief of Those Who Welcomed Father de Smet Among the Sioux
There is another photo by B.H Gurnsey of him at the Smithsonian, but without a sample image: Call No. NAA MS 4671:
Photos are of Walking Shooter (Hunkpapa), of Mr Goewey, Jesuit priest at Fort Buford, North Dakota, and of a group of unidentified Indian Women; one print dated 1869, others not dated. Prints are of carte de visite size.

[Sam Broadbent, in phone correspondence with Division of Ethnology, says Goewey was a Jesuit priest. Probably missionary in Fort Buford area.] B. H. Gurnsey, Sioux City, Iowa. 1869.

The beadwork on Walking Shooter's 1872 shirt and leggings is very interesting in style. Is anyone a material culture buff? What style does it belong to?

About Belly Fat and Walking Shooter/Shoots Walking being one in the same: from Josephine Waggoner:
"Old John Grass, Sr. was living then; he was the head chief. There was Shoots Walking--commonly called Belly Fat, and Two Pack, Fire Heart, and Yellow Fat all living in groups with their bands."
