Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation,Dakota South - Shannon County - c1890 - Squaw of Whirl Wind Horse Stere
This stereocard is one of Special Edition of Tourists’ Series, published by Montgomery Ward & Co., Chicago. It is part of America Illustrated, Miscellaneous Subjects of American Scenery. The photo shows an Indian woman dressed in a long calico shift style dress, standing in front of an elaborately painted tipi. The skin of the tipi has Chief WhirlWind Horse printed on it, and depictions of an eagle and a barely visible painting of a warrior holding a feathered headdress. No photographer is noted. Tan matting. Good focus and contrast. It is our best guess that Chief WhirlWind Horse was an Oglala Sioux from the Pine Ridge Reservation. 3.5 x 7.”
