DAKOTA WAR OF 1862 PHOTOGRAPHYDAKOTA WAR OF 1862 PHOTOGRAPHY GROUPA historically significant group of carte-de-visite depicting figures from the Outbreak of 1862 and one stereo viewer card. The Indian Massacre of 1862 stemmed from the frontier extending into Minnesota. After broken treaties and a failure to provide the food promised to the indigenous peoples the Sioux attacked, resulting in the death of almost 500 settlers, volunteers, and soldiers. The Civil War slowed the response but Colonel Henry Hastings Sibley ultimately defeated Little Crow at the Battle of Wood Lake. In a period of less than six weeks trials were held for the combatants, some lasting only five minutes, and resulting in 303 of 392 prisoners being given a death sentence. After reviewing the convictions Abraham Lincoln decided that only 39 should be hanged with one more person being given a last minute reprieve. It was later found that two of those hanged were victims of mistaken identity and history has questioned President Lincoln putting the Native Americans to death when not a single Confederate soldier was punished in kind for their role in the deaths of so many Union soldiers. The mass hanging of 38 Dakota Sioux remains the largest mass hanging in American History. These cards document the Chippewa Chief Neh-Bah-Quah-Om (Big Dog), Chief Qui-Wi-Sain-Shish (Bad Boy), and Chief Wah Bo Jeeg (White Fisher) and The Sioux Chief Ta-Tanka-Nazin (Standing Buffalo), Chief Little Crow, and Te-Na-Se-Pa (A Sioux Dandy). The three Sioux warriors were executed for their part in the uprising. Each of these was produced by J. F. Whitney, Whitney's Gallery of St. Paul Minnesota and marked as such. The stereoview card is a photo card showing a street scene by Upton's Views and shows the studio in the foreground. Carte-de-visite approx. 2-3/8" L x 4" H, stereopticon card approx. 7" L x 3-3/8" H.

Weaver, gift from the above in thanks for his commencement address on January 28, 1967 A Private Rancho Palos Verdes Estate, by descent from the above Notes: Oscar Howe (1915-1983) was a renowned Native American artist who is best known for his innovative and expressive depictions of traditional Dakota culture and mythology. Born on the Crow Creek Reservation in South Dakota, Howe grew up immersed in his heritage and was deeply influenced by the rich visual traditions of his people. Despite facing significant obstacles as a Native American artist in a predominantly white art world, Howe persevered and became one of the most respected and celebrated artists of his generation. Howe experimented with a wide range of artistic styles and techniques, eventually developing a highly individualized style that blended traditional Dakota imagery with contemporary abstract forms. He drew inspiration from the geometric designs and bright colors of Dakota beadwork and quillwork, as well as from the bold, sweeping lines of modernist painting. Throughout his career, Howe created a vast body of work that included paintings, drawings, prints, and murals, as well as sculptures and installations. His art was exhibited widely in galleries and museums across the United States and Europe, and he received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to the field. Despite facing discrimination and marginalization throughout his life, Oscar Howe remained committed to his artistic vision and his cultural heritage. In 2022, a major exhibition titled "Dakota Modern: The Art of Oscar Howe" opened at the National Museum of the American Indian, New York which reintroduced Howe's work to contemporary audiences. The exhibition subsequently traveled to the Portland Art Museum in Oregon and will be on view at the South Dakota Art Museum at South Dakota State University from June 10, 2023 to September 17, 2023. A label on the frame verso, typewritten by the artist, provides the following explanation of this painting's subject matter: "HORSE DANCER" (Sunk waci) "Sioux Indians (Dakota's) really appreciated the horse and his use to them, in hunting, warfare and many other uses. The horse appropriately named SUNKA WAKAN, (Sacred Dog) and considered mysterious - He is given a dance in his honor, in which the horse dances or performs in rhythm to singing with drumbeats - Horse is with or without rider - Horses used in dance usually number between 20 to 40 - in each performance in formation as according to cardinal points (different colors artificial). "The background as related to foreground (in form, rhythm etc.) is explained through Sioux language, of nature or natural dimensional meanings and feelings which I try to objectify, the visual form by verbal (Sioux) meanings. Sioux terminology makes for poetic aesthetic form and forms. "(The colors of the horses according to the cardinal points are. Four black horses represent the west; white, the north; sorrel, the east; buckskin, the south)."

C. DEC. 25, 1890 GHOST DANCE LAKOTAC. DEC. 25, 1890 GHOST DANCE LAKOTA PHOTOGRAPHThis is an original, authentic Lakota Sioux Ghost Dance photograph at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota from photographer George E. Trager Northwestern Photographic Co. taken December 25, 1890. This is from the Jim Aplan Piedmont, South Dakota collection. The image was taken 10 days after the arrest and murder of Chief Sitting Bull (just North at Standing Rock Indian Reservation in South Dakota) pushing tensions near the breaking point, and just 4 days before the U.S. Cavalry killed hundreds of Lakota in the Wounded Knee Massacre, only around 20 miles from this spot (it is easily presumed that some of the members in the photograph were eventually killed at Wounded Knee). There is another promenade or boudoir card photographs that was listed by Swann Auction Gallery in September 2021 which shows two photographs, one being this exact image and the other taken at the exact same time, several of the exact dancers can be seen in both photographs, with the other being marked in the negative, “Rose Bud and Sioux Indian War Dance at Pine Ridge Agcy, Dec 25th, 1890, S. Dak.,”. The back of the card is handwritten in graphite pencil at the top in cursive, “The Ghost Dance”. The card also is printed on the back, “VIEWS Wounded Knee Battle, Indian Camps, War Camps, Indian Chiefs. Everything of interest in the late Pine Ridge War are held by us for sale. Agents wishing to make $10 to $15 per day wanted. Northwestern Photographic Co., Chadron, Neb.” The back also shows a quack Epilepsy Cure stating, “The water from the famous MINNE PAZUTA SPRINGS have cured 20 cases of the worst forms of Epilepsy within the last year. For information and testimonials address Trager & Ford Chadron, NEB.” The photograph truly shows one of the most contentions and important moments in time during the Indian Wars and Native American history. Tatanka Iyotake, better known as Sitting Bull led the Lakota / Hunkpapa Sioux during years of resistance against the brutal anti-Native American policies declared by the United States government. Sitting Bull was killed by the police on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation just north of where this photograph was taken during an attempt to arrest him. The authorities greatly feared that Sitting Bull, being the highest person of influence, would join the Ghost Dance movement, which preached resistance to assimilation. This photograph is a reaction to the killing of their beloved leader, taken only 10 days after his death, and eventually led to the great massacre of nearly 300 Lakota Sioux by the U.S. Cavalry. One of the best photographs we have offered and on the public market. Provenance: From the Jim Aplan collection Piedmont, South Dakota. Measures 8.5” by 5”.
