Yaqui Indians (LOC)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaqui Some info on the Yaqui
  • whiteclay said:
    Yaqui traditionally don't live in tipis. This shot had to have been set up. Plus the painting on the tipi is very unusual.
  • dhawktx1 said:
    If you view the larges size, you can see a traditional sun shade and wikiup behind the tent on one side, and another sun shade to the right.
  • tipi dweller said:
    I'm with whiteclay, this is not their actual dwelling. The info on the Yaqui says they farmed and lived in pueblas. That was not a nomadic, Plains lifestyle. Besides, where would the buffalo hides have come from to make the tipis? It's a complete disconnect.
  • skillful north said:
    But it is so typical of the time this was taken that "everyone" thought American Indians of any sort lived in tipis. Just as all females no matter the age were called girls.

    See www.oldpostcards.com/indian.html and www.oldpostcards.com/i/ind000407.html for image of postcard using what appears to be this image (colored). Postcard is from Glacier National Park.

    Another copy of the postcard is at swcenter.fortlewis.edu/images/D002/D0020321Page.htm -- with 'circa 1908' as date. However Glacier National Park was not established as such until 1910.

    www.archive.org/details/pressclubbulleti00pres suggests that in November 1912, Medicine Owl, a Chief of the Blackfeet and "Chief of Medicine Men" was a luncheon guest at the Chicago Press Club. See print page 284.

    I think the date written on the negative is 1-18-13.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    swanq: Thanks for the additional information on Medicine Owl. We will add more details to the source data and then reload the description to Flickr.

    Several articles about Medicine Owl ran in the Chicago Daily Tribune, November 24 and 28, 1913.

    A Nov 24 article states that he met with Mary Garden. LC uploaded photos of her recently as well, see around .

    The Nov 28 article says that he christened Italian opera singer Titta Ruffo with the name "Chee-ka-komeena, Thunder Chief". LC uploaded a photo ot Titta a few weeks ago, .
