Some time ago Cowan had for sale this image, labeled as a Barry (I tend to agree with this) portrait of a Crow man. I'm pretty sure I've seen this man before, but I'm not able to associate any name with his face. Any ideas?  (Now that I think of it, a name has popped up in my mind and it's a Crow name...but I'd like to hear your opinions first  ) Thanks! |

According to the information from the Denver Public Library, this man is identified as "Black Bird, a Crow male".

I've got a copy identified as Yellow Hawk. No tribe.

Thanks, Jeroen and Grahame. I wasn't to able to find a photograph, but here's the Crow I was referring to:  Bear in The Cloud (this Sharp portrait was originally posted by Grahame in the "Crow individual photographs" thread) I know there was a Yellow Hawk (Yanktonai) photographed by Curtis, but it's unlikely he's our man. Incidentally, there are no Yellow Hawks or Black Birds in the 1885 Crow census... |

Maybe he's Hidatsa.

Yes, it could be. Barry, in the same period, realized a series of Hidatsa portraits.

A close up of the guy (had made also details of the necklace and the knife shelter but I lost them some days ago, when the CD they were stored in was crushed).  |
