Mrs. Yellow Eye... an old squaw who died last year
5 1/2" x 3 7/8" unmounted sepia matte silver print C. 1900 by F. B. Fiske. Fiske worked at the Standing Rock Reservation at Fort Yates, N.D. Her interesting necklace is made of bone hairpipes and brass beads, strung between brass spacers. Details thank to Mike Cowdrey, who conjectures she might have been the wife of Lower Yanktonai Sioux "Paints his eyes Brown" as the Lakota for "brown" and "yellow" are often confused. [3]
