Here is a first attempt - I'm not a Cheyenne expert - to identify a few people. 

Right or wrong?

Who else can we identify?

Isn't that Left Hand next to Bent?

The white man in the middle is most likely John DeBras Miles (1832 – 1925), who was superintendent of the Darlington Agency on the Cheyenne-Arapaho Reservation from 1872 to 1884.

He served as a lawyer for the Cheyenne and Arapaho following his resignation as agent in 1884. 

Here , he is a little bit younger:

I think the man wearing the straw boater in the back row may be White Shield and the man sitting directly in front of him is the Arapaho, Left Hand
