"James D. Hutton, artist, photographer, topographer, and younger brother of the notable topographical artist William Rich Hutton, was born in Washington, D.C., around 1828. When James' uncle, William Rich, was assigned duty in California as a U.S. Army Paymaster, both James and his brother William went with him. After traveling through Central and South America, they arrived in San Francisco in April 1847. James was the artist for the 1855 expedition of Lt. R. S. Williamson and Lt. Henry L. Abbott to find a route for a railroad from San Francisco to the Columbia River, as well as Capt. William Raynolds' exploration of the Yellowstone River Valley in 1859-1860. Hutton joined the Confederate Army in 1861 and saw action at the Battle of Pilot Knob. After the Civil War, he moved to Mexico where he died in 1868."

A collection of his topographical drawings made on the Raynolds expedition can be found at the above address
Friday and other Arapahos; taken on the Raynolds survey expedition in 1859/60
Eagle Head, Split-Nose, Little Owl, and Friday, 1859/60

Lazy Bear? Bone Necklace?
Crow chiefs on the Yellowstone, 1859 The man with the grizly claws on his moccasins is Two Bears
Two Bears - though later, Raynolds describes him dressed in "pants, shirt, and hat."

I came across a group of ambrotypes here -
civilwartalk.com/threads/ambrotype-portraits-of-unidentified-native-americans-c-1850s-1860s.151172/
... which they've swiped from here: learninglab.si.edu/collections/subject-native-americans-bae-transfer-nmahphc/bEaJei9r0aWG3Bz3
I recognised some as Hutton's work and wonder if the others are...
?
Lakota?
Unidentified
Tak-bi-tsa-kish - he can be seen at the left of the group photo above
Su-rit - he wears the 1853 Peace Medal
Unidentified
Raynolds' full report - in all its ethnocentric glory - is here: quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=moa&cc=moa&sid=95e3f6e828e116b80d4cccd93c806bc1&view=text&rgn=main&idno=AFK4450.0001.001
Supposedly, Hayden's Contributions to the Ethnography and Philology of the Indian Tribes of the Missouri Valley uses Hutton photos as the basis for its illustrations:
Is the 'Crow Indian' the man in the group photo that contains the man in the white cap?
The 'Shyenne Brave' is clearly the man in the photo, but Raynolds' report makes no mention of the tribe, by that or any other spelling
