Sioux Indians portraits and drawing

Visual Materials

Four portraits of Sioux Indian leaders and one drawing related to the August 1862 Sioux Massacre in Minnesota. The portraits are: Sioux Chief Standing Buffalo by photographer Joel Emmons Whitney (photPF 20261); and Shakopee (photPF 20262), and Wind Rattler Walking (photPF 20263), and Great Eagle's Tail (photPF 20264) by photographer Joseph Hill of St. Paul, Minnesota.

Heard. (RB 246053). There are notes in ink on the backs of the items, part of which say that they were purchased in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1862 from D. Wilson Howe, and that the names and translations were made by Rev. Stephen R. Riggs, missionary. The note on the drawing verso identifies the original portrait photographer as Adrian Ebell.
