Portrait of Oglala Sioux Chief Bone Necklace

Posted on by Historical Snapshots
Historic photograph circa 1899 of Bone Necklace, an Oglala Sioux Chief, seated with his eyes closed. He wears traditional Native American attire including a feathered headdress, a beaded chest ornament, and holds a bow with arrows across his lap. His shirt is adorned with fringe, and he has a blanket draped over his lower body. The photo has a sepia tone, indicative of the era, and the chief's expression is solemn.
