The following images are on (or were on) ebay lately. They were supposedly taken at Pine Ridge, c. 1890, though there seems to be no indication of the date on the photo itself. I'm guessing later, however. No idea who took the images. The first two were up a few days back; the last are still there (9 Jan). Maybe I've missed some; maybe more will be posted. Son of Red Dog? Certainly bears a resemblance to him. Now, that last one... could this be Pretty/Good Weasel, friend of Crazy Horse?

Great pictures Grahame, but I can´t add much to it. You´re right about Kills A Hundred, I think.
There are other Lone Dog and Afraid of Hawk portraits, but they don´t resemble those above.
This is information from Cowan´s Auction site:
"Kills a Hundred, Afraid of (a) Hawk, Long Dog, and Lone Dog all appear in the 1886 and later census rolls of the Pine Ridge Agency. Kills a Hundred appears again in the 1890 census, but not in the 1895 or any subsequent rolls, though the other men continue to appear into the early 20th century. Additionally, several men are posed with a Winchester 94, suggesting a date around 1894 or 1895."
The photographer is unknown.
There are a few more photos from this series, I´ll post them later...

Please do post them. I wasn't aware they'd been on Cowan's.

Thanks. Is this High Bear photographed by Huffman?

Some of these men are here: amertribes.proboards.com/thread/358/help-identification?page=4... except I think that's Long Dog in the centre - he certainly looks more like the man in the photo you posted than the other man. Likewise, that would make Kills a Hundred the man in the bonnet and large medallion, as opposed to the man in the Miwatani headdress

Afraid-of-a-Hawk is Cetan Kokipa aka Albert Afraid-of-a-Hawk, son of Emil Afraid-of-a-Hawk. Albert travelled with the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. Somewhere I have a Portrait. Post it later. For Kills-A-Hundred see here: www.american-tribes.com/Lakota/BIO/Kills-a-Hundred.htm

Gregor, Albert Afraid of Hawk was a younger man in 1898, so it would be more likely that this is his father. For some reason this photo allegedly shows a different Long Dog: Looks Twice surely is the man on left, not right. I am not sure about High Bear.

Maybe at least some of the photos in this thread were taken in 1903, when Kills A Hundred, Looks Twice and 40 other Lakota visited Deadwood:
INDIANS TRAVEL. Modern Methods Adopted by a Party Visiting the Black Hills.
Deadwood dispatch. 18: A party of Indians arrived this week from Pine Ridge agency and went into camp at Deadwood for a few days' visit. There are forty in the party under Chiefs Kills-a-Hundred and Looks Twice. They left the agency with twenty days leave of absence October 6, visiting Rapid City, for the purpose of placing some of their children in the govern- ment Indian school at that place. Their trip to Deadwood was chiefly for the purpose of seeing Congressman E. W. Martin, as many of the chiefs and braves in the party are personally acquainted with Mr. Martin, having attended councils at which he was pres- ent. They were anxious to be given permission for killing deer and antelope, and thought Mr. Martin was in a posi- tion to withhold the operation of the state game laws in their favor. They seemed much disappointed that he could not obtain for them the desired privy- leges. They have announced that they will remain in Deadwood several days and will give a war dance for the public. Of the twelve or fifteen families in the party only one had the typical Indian tepee, the others being provided with ordinary wall tents and cooking stoves, with stovepipe holes in the roofs of the tent. There is no cooking over fires in the traditional Indian way, and it is observed that the men of the party attend to most of the labor aside from the preparation of meals, which indi- cates another departure from the old tribal way.
The Madison Daily Leader, October 20, 1903
Asa Kills A Hundred and Afraid of Bear had met E.B. Martin in council the previous month at Pine Ridge (September 21./22., 1903; see: The Power of the Land: Identity, Ethnicity, and Class Among the Oglala Lakota by Paul Robertson, 2002). Also, please notice the many stovepipes in the first series of pictures above!
In any case the group photos with Kills A Hundred, Look Twice, etc., were not taken after 1909, as this short article proofs:
A picture postal card from our old friend Guy Ranney, now of Rapid City, S. D., to The Herald gives the photos of four of the most noted chiefs of the Sioux tribe. They are dressed in their war costume and look to be ready for most anything that is fierce and terrible. Their names are Kills An Hundred, Look Twice, Slow Bull, and Long Dog.
The Hartford Herald, March 17, 1909

Hi Dietmar, maybe you are right. I have both these men as Albert Afraid-of-Hawk. It is known, that "Albert Afraid of Hawk, a 20-year-old Sioux who was part of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West, died in Danbury, CT in 1900". Maybe these two are father and son and the older man would be Emil? Unfortunately I have no date when the pic of the older man was taken. Any suggestions?

Hi Gregor, to my knowledge the second photo you posted is a portrait of the Wild West Show performer Albert Afraid of Hawk. There are some more pictures of him published by Heyn & Matzen in 1899. The first photo is part of a photo series taken by Charles H. Carpenter in 1904. I haven´t seen it identified as Afraid of Hawk before. Two portraits of him by Carpenter are labeled at Getty Images "Unidentified Rosebud Sioux Man" without any name. Probably someone at 'pinterest' (don´t trust anything on there) attached a name to him. Actually, after looking again, he was pictured also in a group photo among other man from Rosebud, Yellow Hair, One Star, etc.. The whole series by Carpenter can be found at Getty Images and at Smithsonian Institute: collections.si.edu/search/detail/edanmdm:siris_arc_91785?q=rosebud+1904&record=36&hlterm=rosebud%2B1904

I'd say so. Do we assume these people are from the same band? Same reservation settlement?
