In this black and white photograph, Chief High Hawk, wearing a hat and holding a peace pipe, poses in front of a log house with three women and a large number of children. Most of the people in the photograph are wearing moccasins and have blankets wrapped around them. A wagon can be seen in the background. The photograph was taken at the Rosebud Reservation.
High Hawk led a Brule band that advocated the Ghost Dance in the late 1880s. He was part of a Sioux delegation to Washington, D.C., after the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. The Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation is located nine miles north of Valentine, Nebraska, in South Dakota.
