Item Details
Description
[NATIVE AMERICANS]. [NOTCHININGA (“No Heart”)]. Cabinet photograph of Sioux chief “No Heart’s” three children. Mandan, Dakota Territory: R. Gilbert, n.d. [ca. 1880]. On original studio mount (overall, 165 x 108 mm), early printed caption mounted on verso. No Heart was a leader of the Iowa people and served in Iowa’s delegation to an inter-tribal congress in Washington, D.C. which aimed to settle boundary disputes between the Santee Sioux and their rivals the Sauk and Meskwaki peoples. No Heart was also a notable map maker who followed the same conventions as maps produced by Euro-American cartographers and was able to produce detailed maps of the Missouri valley showing legitimacy of Iowa claims. His three children, according to the caption on the verso, “pride[ed] themselves on being the best looking Sioux in the Sioux tribe”.
