Content Warning

Dehumanizing and harmful descriptions using racist, colonialist, and sexist language were used to describe many of the items in this collection. In some cases, descriptions were creator-supplied or generated from transcriptons of captions on the photographs. In other cases in which photographs lacked any identifying information, descriptions were created by an archivist. These items are identified in the description with the note, "Cataloger supplied title."

Scope and Contents

Native Americans, likely Dakota or Lakota, dance on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. Title provided by cataloger. Manuscript notation on verso reads: "Sioux feast dance" and "135." Manuscript notation "No. 91" scratched out. Photographer's imprint pasted on back of card.
