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? Attachments:

I'm still trying to find out who the five men in the grainy group photo are. Dietmar's article suggests it may have been shot in Deadwood in 1903. Identified leaders of the 1894-95 Pine Ridge series all seem to belong to Oyuhpe and Soreback bands: - Afraid Of Hawk (aka Čhetáŋ Kȟokípȟa, aka Emil Afraid Of Hawk) was oyuhpe leader Slow Bull's son; - High Bear (aka Matȟó Waŋkátuya) was a Head of the Household in White Clay district where bands returning from Canada via Standing Rock were relocated (i.e. Oyuhpe and Sorebacks); - Kills A Hundred (aka Opa'winge Kte', aka John Kills A Hundred) was oyuhpe leader Red Dog's son; - Lone Dog (aka Su'nka Isna'la) was also a Head of the Household in White Clay district; - Pretty Weasel (aka Ithu'nkasan Waste', aka Leo Pretty Weasel) was a Cankahuhan (Soreback) leader; - Looks Twice aka Wayanka Nupa or Nupa Wakita was a oyuhpe Head of the Household in Wounded Knee district and the son of Foam; - Long Dog (aka Súŋka Háŋska, aka James or John Long Dog) was a Head of the Household in Wounded Knee district, suggesting he could have been an Oyuhpe too. Considering all premises, I think the man standing second from right bears strong resemblances with the famed Cankahuhan leader HE DOG. My reading of the pic would be: L-R: Kills A Hundred, Looks Twice, James Long Dog, He Dog, unknown. This last man is variously identified as Long Dog or High Bear. Personally I believe he looks a little bit like Joseph High Eagle (1860-1950) but honestly he seems too old to be a man in his forties. Any guess?
