Hi ev'rybody,
I just came across this photo series and stopped at the photo "Shoshone sundancers - circa 1910" (3 men blowing eaglebone pipes / middle of the page). They look very Lakota-like to me. I think they are Oglala and/or Brulé. The man on the right side is Painted Horse (Oglala) or Follows-the-women (Brulé). I think its a Bell or O'neil photo from around 1910. I'm pretty sure that I have some other pix of this series. I have to look at my archive. If I didn't know it better, i would say the man in the middle is Kicking Bear (but he died in 1904). The man on the left side looks familiar to me, but I can't remember a name. Any suggestions? But Shoshone? Never!

Greetings from Germany

Gregor

I have a copy of the photograph on this website of Blackfoot Sundancer - circa 1910 only more complete as there is figure wrapped in a blanket standing at far right. There is a number 166 in the caption to your photo. Can anyone tell me more about this photograph 1) does #166 refer to a collection and where is that located? 2) who took the photo? 3) was it taken in Canada?

These are cards in my sun dance collection. I will leave it to the experts to name them.
