A couple of closer edits of the Fort Thompson photo.

This is said the be Ma-Do-Ca or The Buck: "A 4 March 1856 report from Brevet Brigadier General William S. Harney, recorded as part of Exhibit C in Congressional Edition, Vol. 2363, reads, The Buck is appointed a chief of the Honepatela band of Yanktonnais under Two Bears."

Elsewhere, I've seen him identified as Iron Whip. If it is The Buck, according to this amertribes.proboards.com/thread/2277/mdoka-buck he died in 1866, which rules out Morrow as the photographer because he didn't arrive in the region until 1868. My first thought was that it looks like a Charles Hamilton photo anyhow. On the other hand... he seems to have a little beard, as does the Ponca Iron Whip, who was also photographed in a bear claw necklace, but maybe that's just a coinicidence.




I have seen the man above identified as Poor Wolf, the Hidatsa, wearing a Grass Dance Costume, but he looks nothing like the man at the right in this Morrow photo:



Of course, we don't know who stamped the reverse of the images, when they were stamped or who provided the written annotation. They may well have been taken on one of Morrow's numerous trips, but that first image reminds me of a Hamilton...

I know, the face of the Cheyenne sitting on right in the above picture looks leaner, but he´s wearing the same stuff as Wolf Voice in picture No. 175:

Wolf Voice, unidentified, Brave Wolf

[Californian]

you are right Dietmar, the clothing appears to be the same or in the least very similar, particularly the sash and bonnet. Wolf Voice in image 175 also seems to wear some type of vest over the shirt which the one in 162 does not have. The faces don't look much the same, Wolf Voice's is broader. I wonder if the sash and bonnet might have been some insignia of a Cheyenne military organization, which they might have switched from one to the other for the picture taking ?

[grahamew]

I've always seen him identified as Wolf Voice, but when you emailed, I thought I'd seen a similar, leaner-faced man before and I've found the image I was thinking of: White Magpie, identified on this Huffman card as a 'Teton':



However, I'm far from convinced, though I know the regalia was swopped around in some of these Morrow portraits.

[Californian]

thanks Grahame, definitely resemblance. I will try to upload a close-up high resolution scan as soon as I get the original, should come either today or tomorrow.

[grahamew]

I have to admit that I'm not convinced one way or the other.

I think this is White Magpie at the left, standing next to Wolf Voice. Neither really look like the man in your photo.



I've just looked at the two photos again in Powell's book, People of the Sacred Mountain, and I'm none the wiser, except to say that the man on the left is wearing the same bonnet as Two Moons in Morrow's photo of him and it appears to be the same bonnet of the as the man in the centre of the image Dietmar posted.


Horse Road, at the left, appears to be wearing the same bonnet as Wolf Voice and the man in your image; on the right Ice/Ice Bear/White Bull appears to be wearing the Two Moon bonnet.

One more...


The two bonnets turn up here too.

Any ideas about the identities ?

Crow woman The site still sadly uses the term, "squaw."


Also at this site: Spotted Elk, an image often credited to Huffman, but we know he copied/sold some of Morrow's images taken at Fort Keogh, such as those of Two Moon and Wolf Voice.


This is said to show a group of Dakotas (Yanktons?) visiting Fort Berthold


It's only fair to point out that this site does mis-identify some tribal affiliations...

Dietmar has posted this elsewhere as Red Stone, an Assiniboine chief, but he later received communication that it may be a Hunkpapa called Red Stone


We've had this one earlier, but he's now identified as Yellow Buffalo Bull, Ponca chief
