Does anyone know and/or have a photo of Chief Heavy Breast? I know there are photos of his son, Owen, but a Blackfeet man told me there are pix of the original chief on the internet and I cannot find them. I have his pipe and have looked for years and am just starting again. I tried to give his pipe back to his family about 5 years ago but they were not to be found, or in any shape to receive this pipe. Thanks for any info/pix.

Dang. You had me all excited!! But those pix are of Owen, his son. And I think the one is his grandson. But it's cool two of those Owen photos I have never seen before. This pipe is from the 1860's. Owen sold it to a pawn in New Haven CT in the 1920's (i think i have to look at the doc again) Cool story: Lakota stole it during battle w/Blackfeet. Crow stole it during battle w/ Lakota and gave back to Heavy Breast. This is according to Owen Heavy Breast when he sold the pipe. Thanks for the link it is GREAT!
