content: Subject identified 5/66 by Nora Spanish and Mae Williamson, South Piegans of Browning, Montana and transmitted by Claude Schaeffer, Museum of the Plains Indian (cf. also negative 420-a). A Piegan Indian wearing a Dakota style dress. (J.C. Ewers, April 1966).

Negatives 4700 through 4712 were made by R.W. Reed on an excursion sponsored by the Great Northern Railroad for the purpose of making photographs to be used in their advertising. Thus, though much of the equipment and dress of the Indians is traditional these photographs do not accurately portray the Blackfoot life style. The setting of the trip, Glacier National Park was, no doubt, selected for its scenic attraction, but in reality the Blackfoot never camped or hunted in the mountains, and when traveling went through them as quickly as possible. For, according to their tradition the mountains were the homes of the spirits. Information from J.C. Ewers, 9/70 JCS.
