Lone Wolf - Oglala Lakota

The Oglala Lakota, “those who scatter their own” are one of the seven tribes of the Lakota Nation and guardians of the Great Plains. Known for legendary leaders like Crazy Horse and Red Cloud, they stood strong against U.S. expansion and defended their sacred Black Hills. Despite centuries of colonization, they continue to rise preserving their language, traditions, and spirit on the Pine Ridge Reservation. ✊🏽m

These are the faces of the true Indigenous peoples of America, though few truly recognize them. While many are familiar with names like Apache, Sioux, Cherokee, and Cheyenne, there were many other nations, such as the Blackfoot, Arapaho, and Navajo.

Unfortunately, their rich histories and diverse cultures are often overlooked in books and by historians, leaving much of their legacy untold.

Lakota (Sioux) Braves, circa 1885. Iron Thunder, front, was a Miniconjou who had fought at the 1876 Battle of the Little Big Horn in Eastern Montana. The others were Fool Thunder, Crow Eagle, and Slow White Buffalo. All had wrapped hair. Slow White Buffalo wore a fur hat. Pipestone ceremonial pipes and a wooden war club were in view.

D.F. Barry took the portrait. Barry had also photographed several prominent Sioux warriors who had been photographed earlier by L.A. Huffman at Fort Keogh, adjacent to Miles City, Montana. Barry came to Dakota Territory in 1878 to work for photographer O.S. Goff. I used Photoshop to clean the image and sharpen details. Click to better see details. More background is in the first comment. Text and digital restoration of photo by Gary Coffrin.
