Description
  • An outdoor portrait of a man, identified as John War Eagle, dressed in Native American regalia. Three large feathers extend out from his hair. He is wearing shell necklaces, bone breastplate, and long sleeve buckskin shirt with fringes and beadwork. His hair is contained in two braids with fur hair wraps. The strap of a bag or pouch hangs diagonally across his chest. Visible in the background are trees, ladder, vehicle, and photographic lighting equipment. John War Eagle was an actor. There are similar pictures that are in the envelope written "sioux uprising". This is most likely a picture taken on the set of a movie.
