O my poor Kingdom,
Sick with civil blows
Peopled with WOLVES,
Thy old inhabitants...

Ponca Native Americans 1877
Front: Left to Right - Great Elk, Standing Buffalo Bull, White Eagle, Standing Bear. Back: Jean Baptiste Barnaby (Interpreter Otoe/Pawnee), Charles LeClaire (Interpreter Ponca/French)
I love these vintage photos of native people. The interpreters is a nice addition.
ReplyDeleteLove the bouquet below, too. Another painter I wasn't familiar with, so thank you.
The Ponca leaders look formidable men, Teresa. But their story is a sad and disgraceful one as with all the native peoples it seems.
