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.

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, .

From the Blackfeet website, see above: "Ours is primarily an oral tradition but we have always kept a record of Tribal history and events by painting tipis, robes, and hides with pictures to tell the story, something we do to this day. Hides painted to record the year’s significant occurrences are called a winter count, and you will find winters counts mentioned in the “Historical Timeline” section of this website. Perhaps it is our tradition of visual imagery that explains why the Blackfeet have such an unusually large number of talented, internationally-celebrated artists."
