Thanks for bringing these to our attention.  A very nice collection.

A couple of observations:  Number 14 on p. 1, the man labeled "Little Bird" (Dakota) is also sometimes identified as the Kaw Indian named "Pi Sing" in photos.  One of them is displayed in Kaw Tribal Headquarters.

Number 2 on p. 4 is also Kaw and is identified as such, but I'm not sure the name is correct.  He certainly looks like Washunga to me.  Linda can correct me on this.

Siouan Linguistics list members might be interested to view nearly 200 historic photographs of Great Plains Indian tribal members with personal names and English translations, posted by the National Library of France. These are WONDERFUL photos.
