In this post I will add some details to 3 of the images posted by awanookwe. I tried to number the images, but may be off a bit since some are no longer visible on that thread. I will add information to images 37 (Bashicta-Noqueb, High Up in the Sky, 1901), 38 (Matchis-Skank, Someone Traveling, 1901), and 39 (De Bway Wain-Dunk, Sound of Eating, 1901). The information I am providing is taken from official payment rolls, census records, published and unpublished sources, and information in the National Archives and Records Administration holdings in Record Group 75 in Kansas City, MO.
All three images are of Bois Forte Chippewa hereditary band chiefs who were part of a delegation to Washington, DC in 1901. These men have been incorrectly identified as Red Lake Chippewa in other websites. The Bois Forte Chippewa are a subdivision of the Lake Superior Chippewa as defined in the Treaty with the Chippewa (10 Stat., 1109, 1854, ratified on January 10, 1855) and The Treaty with the Chippewa Bois Forte Band (14 Stat., 765, ratified in 1866). Prior to those treaties, Bois Forte bands were often identified by the lake or river where they resided (e.g., Rainy Lake, Vermilion Lake, etc.) and/or by their clan affiliation. In 1889 there were 18 Bois Forte Bands, each led by a hereditary chief. Prior to the 1855 treaty, Bois Forte territory extended south from the U.S/Canadian border in what is now Minnesota, from Lake Saganaga on the east through Rainy Lake on the west, and to just north of Fond du Lac on the south. Major interior lakes within their territory included Vermilion, Basswood, Pelican, Nett, Sand Point, Crane, Namakan, Kabetogama, and Rainy. Reservations were established at Vermilion and Nett Lakes although many of the Bois Fort bands continued to occupy off reservation lands well into the 20th century.
Bashicta-Noqueb, High Up in the Sky, 1901. Photo by DeLancey Gill in Washington, DC in 1901. In most sources, his name is spelled Bah zhe dahne quaib and was translated by Stephen Gheen, a man of Bois Forte heritage, in 1899 as "He Steps Over His Hair" [meaning the hair of another person]. This may reference courtesy and protocols in wigwams where one was not to step over the head of a person who was lying down. That name is also translated in the shortened form "Steps Over" in other sources. His English name was Charles Sucker and he was the hereditary chief of a Bois Forte band whose territory was centered on Vermilion Lake. He was chief by 1890 until 1905 when he died (d 10/01/1905). Charles Sucker was original Bois Forte allottee number 244.
Matchis-Skank, Someone Traveling. Photo by DeLancey Gill in Washington, DC in 1901. His name is usually shown as Mah jish kung. His name was translated in 1899 by Stephen Gheen as "The Man Who Starts the Thing Forward (starts it or moves it with his foot)." He was Chief of a band at Nett Lake by about 1880 to about 1923. His English name was John Johnson and he was original Bois Forte allottee number 49. In one source he is listed as having the nickname "Oxeye."
De Bway Wain-Dunk, Sound of Eating. Photo by DeLancey Gill in Washington, DC in 1901. His name is usually shown as Day bway wain dung and has been translated as " Eating Noisily or Grits his Teeth," "Loud Voice," "Approaching Sound," and by Stephen Gheen in 1899 as "You Hear Him at a Distance Making a Noise." He was a sixth degree Midewiwin practitioner (most Chippewa groups have only four possible degrees), a Speaker, a Headman, and by 1923 or before, chief of a Bois Forte Band at Nett Lake. He was a traditional and very important Bois Forte leader. His English name was Moses Day and he was original Bois Forte allottee number 2.

I see they have all disappeared yet again, so... Part 1 Mountain Chief. Note that someone has crossed out Now-We-Ke-Shick and replaced it with O-Ge-Mah-O-Cha-Wub and replaced Noon Day with Mountain Chief  This is, indeed, the same man as above. Chief of the Leech Lake band.  Noon Day - note this man doesn't have the bear claws that we see in the image above and isn't the same person.  Old Man, Head Chief of the Lac Courte Oreilles band  As above  Standing Forward, Chief of the Rabbit Lake band  Buffalo, Head Chief of the Leech Lake band  As above  Heavy Sitter, Chief of the Cass Lake band  Little Bee, Head Chief of the Lac-du-Flambeau band  Little Bee, as above  Hole in the Day, Head Chief of the Gull Lake band  ... and again...  ... and again...

Part 2 One Who Sails  Rattling Runner  Forever Noisy/The Sound of Coming Thunder, Chief of the Sandy Lake band  Grey Eagle - unless this is Great Eagle of the Lac du Flambeau band  Although identified as Sparrow Hawk, an Ojibwe, this is clearly not the same man of that name in the post above and, elsewhere, this image is identified as the Dakota leader, Ma-Za-Sha/Red Iron.  # The Cut Ear  Unidentified  Same as above  Unidentified  Unidentified. I've seen this man labelled Mountain Chief of the Leech Lake band, but it doesn't seem to be the same as appears in the post above...  Shay-wi-zick or Sour Spittle  Me-no-ke-shick (Fine Day)  Unidentified  Maw-je-ke-jik (Flying Sky), Chief of Cass Lake band  Unidentified  Unidentified  Unidentified  Qu-wi-zens or The Boy  Unidentified  Mazum-Me. Identified as 'Chippewa' on this card, it remains possible he's Dakota  As above...  Same man as above? This is sometimes identified as the Dakota leader, Little Crow, but I think we can see it's not him  Unidentified. Dakota?  Unidentified More later...

Part 3 Supposedly circa 1860, despite the fact the card says: Scenes on the Northern Pacific Railroad. However, according to this site, the decade they worked was the 1870s and the partnership seems to have spilt in 1875. In 1871, they submitted four panoramas of Duluth, Minnesota to the Library of Congress in Washington: mnhs.gitlab.io/archive/photographers/www.mnhs.org/people/photographers/C.htmlwww.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03087298.1992.10442538?journalCode=thph20 Caswell and Davey  And another. It's noticeable how the three feathers are swapped around between the men in this series of photos.  And again...  Another Caswell and Davey, though the sitter may be Dakota  Unidentified  Same as above  Unidentified   Essiniwub Ogwissun - the son of Essiniwub  Reposting this one because he seems to belong to this particular group of images Me-Jaw-Key-Osh (Something In The Air Gradually Falling To the Earth)  Tibishko-Biness (Like A Bird)  Maiadjiaush (Something Beginning To Sail Off) with Naboniqueaush (A Yellow-Haired One Sailing Along)  Unidentified  Supposedly a wedding  As is this...  And this...  I suspect they were all taken around annuity payement at Odanah, like this one...  Perhaps this...  And this...  Perhaps this...  And this - note the same baby cradle and woman are in the preceding photograph  And this...  ... and this...  ... and this...  ... and this...  and possibly this...  ... but certainly this. All these photos are credited to Whitney and/or Zimmerman. Joel E. Whitney had a gallery and was taking photographs from 1851, initially with George C. Nichols, before opening his own gallery later in the year; in the late 1860s, he purchased James Martin's gallery and partnered with Charles Zimmerman (his former apprentice), to whom he sold his gallery in 1871. To complicate attribition of these photographs even further further, images taken by another early photographer, Benjamin Franklin Upton, famous for his portraits of the Dakota Indians incarcerated at Ft. Snelling in 1862, had, along with Whitney images, also been marketed by Martin. Later, Zimmerman opened his own gallery with his two brothers; a later partner was Truman Ward Ingersoll, with whom he made images of Indians at the Winter Carnival in 1887. Zimmerman may well have taken the Odanah images, but when he took over Whitney's gallery, he remarketed the latter's images with his own mounts - something he also diod with works by James Martin. As for these images, I'm not convinced they're all from the same session, but if you look at this article, you'll see the likely date for the Odanah photographs is 1869.     Charles DeForest Fredricks and unidentified Ojibwe man  Unidentified   Warm Springs group, 1860-65?  Same group as above, minus the white man.    Hunting deer in the snow  I assume this is another from the winter hunt series.  Ojibwe with Red River cart near Fort Dufferin (I have also seen this groups identified as Dakota)  Ojibwe outside a Red River saloon; 1870s?  Ojibwe at Fort Dufferin, 1874  Ojibwe visiting Alexandria, Minnesota, April 1877; photographer: NJ Trenham

Statement by Cody: "I am proud to have been instrumental in bringing together some of the representative men of the largest Indian tribes in the world, the Sioux and the Chippewa. They were life long enemies. They meet today, after centuries of warfare, to make an everlasting peace. This is the first meeting of the Ogallalla Sioux and Brule Sioux with their ancient enemies the great Chippewa tribe, since they met together in hostile array. I want to thank Captain Mercer for making this meeting possible. This council will live in history. It is one of the historical meetings that will find a place in the annals of our country. It is an epoch in American history. I am proud that it has taken place in the Wild West show, on the historic and ancient battle grounds of these two great tribes on the shores of Lake Superior. If any Chippewas remain in Ashland tonight, I will be pleased to extend to them every courtesy, and will give orders that they shall be admitted free. I now take pleasure in presenting to the head chief of the Chippewas, this pipe, and pouch embroidered with beads filled with kinikinick, such as the Sioux smoke in their peace pipes. This pipe was presented to me at Pine Ridge agency, after the battle of Wounded Knee." www.cowanauctions.com/lot/buffalo-bill-cody-at-peace-meeting-with-sioux-and-chippewa-indians-1896-137261Apart from Cody, also present were Lt. W. A. Mercer, (non-Native Indian Agent for the Ojibwa), Chief Cloud (Ojibwa), Chief Black Bird (Ojibwa), Chief Buffalo (Ojibwa), Chief Flat Iron (Oglala Lakota), Chief Rocky Bear (Oglala). Essentially, this was PR for a Wild West Show visit; it wasn't the first peace council between the tribes and I suspect Rocky Bear and friends had very little to do with the Ojibwe.

A cropped image of the two men at the left of the photo was used to illustrate Roy Meyer's paper, The Canadian Sioux - of course, none of that necessarily means that they were Dakota or Lakota...  Group of Turtle Mountain Ojibwe and Cree, circa 1900. Though the figures are numbered, I have no key for this.  Although the card says Wa-su-tah is an Ojibwe, this image was originally taken by Martin and depicts a young Dakota who was killed in the siege at Fort Ridgely. It looks like Whitney and Zimmerman have remarketed it.  Labelled 'Chippewa warrior,' this is another Martin image of a young Dakota, this time Ah-pe-Ma-za, who was killed at Fort Ridgely

Jacoby (1841 – 1905) was born in Massillon, Ohio and operated several studios there before coming to Minneapolis, where he opened a studio with his brother in 1867. His brother left for a small town where he successfully operated a photo business, while William went on to build his own quite successful business block at the corner of Nicollet and Third Street in 1871. In addition to portraiture, Jacoby made stereo views of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and lakeland landscapes." icatchshadows.com/archive-of-early-minnesota-photographers/grasac.artsci.utoronto.ca/?p=902 Unidentified; photo by Hoard and Tenney  Chippewa reservation - by Hoard and Tenney  White Earth Ojibwa and Wigwam by Hoard and Tenney, 1870s - another group that I've seen labelled as Dakota  Ojibwe camp near Fort William; photo by William McLeish and O.C.

It's a complicate story because there are those who say he was born in Montana, somewhere around Butte, but Rocky Boy was the leader of a grouo of Ojibwe whose rights to their ancestral lands at Red Lake by none other than James McLaughlin. They reached Montana in groups between 1885 and 1892 and were joined by Little Bear's Cree in 1896, when they returned to the United States from Canada. He pressed for a reservation in Montana, which was finally established in 1916 after hios death and named for him. scholarworks.umt.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2257&context=etdweb.archive.org/web/20170101234550/http://www.opi.mt.gov/pdf/IndianEd/IEFA/RockyBoyTimeline.pdf Shadomo or Dirty Pelican - from Odanah, 1891  Pass-M-Use (aka Low Cloud), circa 1880s  Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig - Old Bug - with two members of his band, 1897  Pillager chief Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig (also known as Hole in the Sky), the principal Ojibwe figure in the Battle of Sugar Point or the Leech Lake War' of 1898.

Would anyone care to comment on the significance of the photos in which the subject is shown holding his pipe with the bowl opening facing downward (emptying position), rather than upward (filling and smoking position) like the vast majority of subjects do?
