[NATIVE AMERICANS]. Cabinet card featuring a Native American woman with short hair, possibly the wife of Satanta, or "White Bear." 

4 1/8 x 5 3/4 in. albumen photograph on cardstock mount (few splotches of discoloration to image, and very light soiling and wear to mount edges and corners). Subject identified by ink inscription on mount recto: "Wife of 'White Bear.'" Verso bears a few pencil inscriptions, including, in one hand, "Wife of Santanta (?)" and in another hand, "Zunia[?] squaw[?]" 

The woman stands next to a blanket-draped chair and wears a manta. Her hair is cut short, which could be a representation of the mourning of a loved one. Satanta was imprisoned in Texas until the end of his life, and his daughter is featured in at least one photograph with shortened hair, reportedly for this reason.
