Northern Cheyenne CHIEF AMERICAN HORSE, circa 1910. He had participated in the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn. Julia Tuell moved to Lame Deer, Montana, in 1906, where she took photographs on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation for six years. Later, 1913 - 1929, she photographed the Sioux on Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. (L.A. Huffman had photographed American Horse several times in earlier years.)
A long pipe was used in Native ceremonies. If using a PC, click photo to see the pipestone bowl at the pipe's end and to improve clarity. Julia Tuell's photographs were published in โ€œWomen and Warriors of the Plainsโ€ by Dan Aadland. NOTE: The subject was a Cheyenne Chief, and not the Oglala Sioux Chief known by the same name
