“The Eagle” 1913
This photo shows the members of the Blackfoot tribe and taken in the year 1913. Blackfoot is a highly nomadic tribe from the Great Lakes before taking over the lands of Edmonton, Alberta, Yellowstone, and South Dakota. Chief White Calf sold a part of the land, about 800,000 acres, for $1.5 Million with a promise that they can still go hunting on the land whenever they wanted. But in the 19th century, the land was abdicated by the European and American travelers which make their ownership ends completely.

Sitting Bull, 1885
Sitting Bull and Buffalo Bill formed a partnership in the 19th century. It may seem strange since Sitting Bull was a leader of the Lakota tribe while leading his people against the United States government. Bull made an appearance in Bill’s Wild West show for four months with daily pay of $50 that amounts to $1,423 in today’s rate. He will only ride around the arena while cursing the audiences in Lakota – but it’s only for humor or fun. The two remained friends even after the show was finished. Sitting Bull died during a battle in 1890 with the U.S government at Fort Yates.
