Boudoir card featuring a group of Ute Indian subjects with Buffalo Soldier John Taylor. W.E. Hook: Colorado Springs, Colorado, n.d., circa 1890. Credited and captioned in the negative: "Hook Photo / 1781 Band of Ute Indians." Photographer's blindstamp on mount. John Taylor stands near the center of the group, wearing a suit, while western-style hats and feathered headdresses rest on the grass in the foreground. Another boudoir card featuring John Taylor and Ute Indians was sold as Lot 37 in Part I of The Road West. Born into slavery in Paris, Kentucky, Taylor (1841-1935) escaped as a young man and enlisted in a Black regiment of the Union Army, possibly the 10th US Cavalry. He was discharged in February of 1866 but reenlisted the following year and traveled west, serving in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Colorado. Along the way, he learned Spanish and the languages of the Navajo, Hopi, Apache, and Ute peoples and often worked as a translator. Taylor found he preferred the company of the Indians he encountered over that of the white settlers, many of whom were unaccustomed to the presence of African Americans on the frontier. He purportedly had twelve wives during his lifetime, and, partially by consequence, helped establish Ignacio, Colorado, by selling to the Southern Utes a homestead he inherited from a deceased stepson; this land was later merged with additional holdings to form the town. www.cowanauctions.com/lot/band-of-ute-indians-boudoir-card-featuring-john-taylor-by-hook-colorado-springs-circa-late-19th-century-4038604This looks to be at the Flower Carnival at Colorado Springs, 1894, judging from the dress of the two Ute men, the two children and the woman.

And some more... Tapsy, son of Black Hawk - Winnebago or Potawatomi Sac and Fox Cherokee? Crow Scouts or prisoners? Dakota? Cree? Identified as Kiowa, but perhaps Iowa... Boy Chief (Assiniboine?), Fort Belknap Nez Perce? Winnebago? The annotation reads: Hočąk Chiefs. Left to Right: Back Row (Standing): Little Creek, Winneshiek, Judge; Front Row (Seated and Kneeling): Blue Wing, Decorah (Wąkąhaga ?), Yellow Thunder, George Goodvillage, K[Writing Cut Off]. I think the man identified as Little Creek is Little Hill and that is not THE Yellow Thunder, who died in 1874 and was about 100 - if it's Yellow Thunder at all. To me, the man at the left looks like an older version of the man identified a Little Prophet/Priest below Winnebago leaders in New York, 1866? Front Row: Hųgᵋxų́nųga (Young Prophet or Little Priest the elder), Wakąjagiwįxka (Whirling Thunder[bird]), White Breast, Little Decorah, Little Hill. Back Row: Major F. J. Dewitt, Trader; Robert Wilkinson Furnas, Winnebago Agent (Future Governor of Nebraska); Alex Payer, Translator; Michel St. Cyr, Translator. Big Bow, Kiowa Nez Perce? Unidentified Mission Church at For Sully Fort Union, by Carbutt

Love to study the Lower Brule photo, although it´s not easy to identify the individuals: At least I think that this man looks like Big Mane: ...and this here I think is Alex Recountre/Recontre:

This is definitely Kills A Hundred. I can see the family resemblance.

The picture was taken when Doc Carver´s "Wild America" toured Saint Petersburg, Russia, in 1890.

A few more - groups and individuals: Utes - 1880s/90s? Utes in Black Hawk, 1866? Utes Wild West Show Lakota Wild West Show Lakota And again... All three were supposedly taken in South Bend, Indiana. I'm guessin 1890s/early 1900s Wild West Show Lakota Cheyenne or Arapaho. I'm thinking this may be by Cosand and Mosser Southern Cheyenne woman with her sister standing beside her, and her two daughters, including a part African-American child Young White Horse, Southern Cheyenne. This is by the same photographer as above. Anyone have any other images with this backdrop? Taken in Medicne Hat, Alberta. William Robinson, Chief Shingwaukonce (who fought alongside Tecumseh), and Chief Nebanaigooching, Anishinaabe, 1850 Buhkwujjenene - son of Shingwaukonce Another son, Chief Augustine Shingwauk (son of Shingwaukonce) and his wife, 1880s. To me, he looks more like Buhkwujjenene than the man below Augustine Shingwauk Augustine Shingwauk Chief Gaagige Binesi (Anishinaabe), Forever Thunderbird, also known as William Mann Sr. who negotiated Treaty Number 1, 1870s Turning Bull - a lot later than 1876 Lakota c. 1900 Pahá Waŋžíla (aka Lone Hill), Lakota - 1890s? Half Blackfoot interpreter Jerry Potts with members of the NWMP and a Blackfoot(?) family Potts later in life NWMP scouts at Fort Macleod, Dec 20 1890. Potts is standing at the right Potts among the Blackfoot - presumably his family. Late 80s? Jerry Potts (to the right of Running Wolf) with North West Mounted Police officers and a group of Piikani Nation people Members of the NWMP and Blood man, Fort Walsh, late 1870s - photo by Anderton Blackfoot and others at I.-G. Baker's Trading Store, Fort Macleod Members of the NWMP with a Blood Indian youth, late 1870s. The man on the left is identified as Major Walsh, but I don't think it looks like him - photo by Anderton Blackfoot at Badger Creek Agency, Montana 1886-7 Unidentified village, Price Albert Cree dance, Fort Walsh - photo by Anderton Ojibwe at Fort Dufferin, 1874 Ojibwe, 1880s # Nez Perce Nez Perce Nez Perce One of Joseph's Nez Perce, taken by H. Beck of Winfield, Kansas Nez Perce?

Came across this group of largely unidentified photos when I was researching images of the Dakota/Lakota in Canada: Originally identified as Blackfoot, but I believe there is some doubt about this Ojibwe? I think the photographer here is James Penrose of Winnipeg The headband looks like it's been painted on post-production As do the feathers on the capote Same backdrop as above Photo by Simon Duffin of Winnipeg Duffin - Little Fox (centre) and other Cree men Little Fox, Cree Little Fox, Cree - by Duffin Chief Maccoyoukines, Blackfoot. Photo by Hanes. Yellow Woman and Calf Bull, Blackfoot Yellow Horse and his wife, Blackfoot. Photo by Hanes of Calgary Blackfoot group by Hanes 'Red Cloud' - not the Dakota Red Cloud, is it? Blackfoot? This is a Notman photo of a Blackfoot man wearing a similar necklace made from parts of a gun - or is it the same man? Piegans Blackfoot man - I've seen a variation on this where he smokes a small clay(?) pipe - the kind seen in the Hanes photo of the Blackfoot man above. Saulteaux man Miskoopenaises (aka Mis-ko-pe-nen-she, aka Red Bird) and his wife, Ojibwe Main Street in Moosomin, Saskatchewan - presumably Cree Ojibwe? Outside a Red River saloon Powwow at Griswold, Manitoba. The name of the man wearing the hat second from the left in the front escapes me for the moment, but I think he's the same man as below, a Cree who had his jaw badly damaged in a fight with the Blackfoot: A Metis man, a group of Ojibwe - or possibly Dakota - and a Red River cart at Fort Dufferin, 1873 Dakota family and Red River carts - though I think this is by Jacoby, a Minnesota photographer

Haven't done this for a while, so... Blackfoot? Unidentified John, Navajo war chief, photographed by Barthelmess and Schofield. Presumably, this is Christian Bartholmess, who started taking photographs in Arizona, where he was enlisted, before eventually moving to Montana. Nez Perce? Unidentified Ojibwe? Dakota? Unidentified Making bows and arrows at St Augustine; photo by Alvord, Kellogg and Campbell, Jacksonville, Florida Arapaho village near Fort Laramie. No date. Unidentified Oklahoma Deputy Sheriff Yankton camp, Dakota Territory, circa 1875 Osage? Unidentified Goshen Utes I've posted this one already, but you can see it's the man at the left from the image above, so, presumably both taken at Garfield Landing, Great Salt Lake, Utah Sitting Bear? Osage? Osage? I do wonder if these two are connected to the 1875 Okmulgee Conference Photo by Amberson Gary Shaw, Valentine, Nebraska. Lakota? Cree? Unidentified Ojibwe? Winnegabo? Unidentified Shoshoni? Winnebago? Photo by William James Oliphant, Austin, Texas Tonkawa Oto, circa 1866 Nez Perce? I found this identified as Little Robe, Southern Cheyenne, but it looks nothing like him.
