Bad
Wound (Southern Oglala, Tasnahecha tiyoshpaye) is
the son and namesake of the chief who was prominent
in the 1850s and '60s. Black Bear was another headman
in the Southern Oglala (or Kiyaksa oshpaye). He belonged
to the extended family group (tiyoshpaye) known as
Iwayusota (Uses Up with the Mouth). —

From
memory the guy to the right of Spotted Tail is Face
(also known as Scalp Face). He is Oglala, headman
in both the Wichiska (White Packstrap) and the Omaha
men's societies. The former society was acting as
the Red Cloud Agency akichita or police force in 1874-75;
the Omaha society maintained order at the agency beef
issues.
The
fellow seated in the second row, extreme left, is
Red Skirt (Miniconjou). He, (Martin) Charger (next
right: Sans Arc), and Spotted Elk (next right: Miniconjou)
are all from Cheyenne River Agency. Behind them stand,
l. to r. White Swan (Miniconjou: Glaglahecha band,
fellow in trailer headdress at left); Rattling Ribs
(Two Kettle-maybe Sihasapa also?); Tall Mandan (Two
Kettle; I have the tiyoshpaye affiliation, but need
to check); Lone Horn (Miniconjou: Wakpokiyan band,
adoptive father of Spotted Elk/Big Foot). This bloc
of chiefs all from Cheyenne River.
To
the right of Spotted Elk (or Big Foot) in the second
row are three Brule (Spotted Tail Agency) head akichita,
all wearing warbonnets: l. to r. Crow Dog, He Dog
(not the Oglala), Ring Thunder.
The
guy in the trailer headdress (and boots!) standing
at the right is Fast Thunder (Oglala), who may have
also been Wichiska society leader (debate on the headdress??).
Standing behind him, head visible above Fast Thunder's
headdress, is Pawnee Killer (Southern Oglala, Tapislecha
Tiyoshpaye). At extreme right, standing, is Shoulder
(Oglala, band affiliation not known).
Major
Bingham and William Fielder are the agent and interpreter,
respectively, from Cheyenne River Agency. The man
standing to the left of Shoulder is one of the Janises.
I'm afraid my memory is misfiring on his first name
- maybe check SIRIS; the photo is in the NAA-Smithsonian
with full identifications.

I'm
sure I remember that the delegation was asked to pose
outside the Treasury building. Red Cloud expected
to be paid and walked away when the money wasn't forthcoming!
A man with a very modern awareness of the value of
image! —

I've
checked on Goodyear's book and he reports this story
as well (it appeared on a Washington newspaper which
said, among other things, that Red Cloud had asked
25$ for his picture!). Goodyear suggests however that
it could have been also that Red Cloud, unsatisfied
with the discussions about the Black Hills treaty,
refused to be photographed only out of frustration
and embitterment. —
