content: "All the noted chiefs at Standing Rock were invited to attend and be the guests of the city and take part in the parade. (Meeting of the Constitutional Convention at Bismark, North Dakota, on July 4th, 1889). The following chiefs were in the parade: Chief Gall, Rain-in-the-Face, John Grass, Goose, Mad Bear, Running Antelope, Black Bull, Circling Bear, Crow Eagle, Flying Bye, Sitting Bull, Two Bear, Long Dog, Fire Cloud, Long Feather, Low Dog, Crow King, High Bear, Gray Eagle, Crow, Fool Thunder, Red Horse and Red Fish. "Major McLaughlin was in command of the chiefs and dressed Hairy Chin to appear as Uncle Sam and to lead the parade. Two days atfer he had returned to Standing Rock, Hairy Chin died. He was a brother to Chief Long Dog. The Indians claimed he dressed and appeared as Uncle Sam, which was bad medicine, and was the cause of Hairy Chin taking that old trail to the Happy Hunting Grounds. "Never again will they get a Sioux to parade as Uncle Sam. While at Bismark they were looked after by D.F. Barry. He feared perhaps he had over-fed them- the end of Hairy Chin." -- Notation on photograph in the Burdick Collection of Barry photographs. "I inspected his medicine at the home of his daughter Mrs Iron Road, in the summer of 1932. A dried-up hawk was among the medicine articles." -- Usher L. Burdick (Note on envelope containing photograph).
