{Note: The feathered neckless with its feather pendant hanging down his back; the decorated whistle, made from a hollow eagle wing bone, which he’s holding in his left hand; And the rattle made from elk or deer dewclaws, which he’s holding in his right hand; are all items commonly associate it with members of one of the elite warrior societies of the Dakota.

While this photo is intriguing indeed, I doubt the identification is correct. Little Thunder was a Yankton delegate to Washington in 1867 and was photographed there, but it is another picture.

Thank you for correcting me dietmar! I suppose this would be Little Thunder in Washington in 1867
