content: Print from which this negative was made was marked, "Lazy Bear Hunter, Blackfeet Chief, Oklahoma," evidently an error. Comment by J.C. Ewers, 6/7/61: The headdress is not tribally distinctive.* The belt and quiver look to me more like Assiniboine or Crow than Blackfoot. Nevertheless, this man might be a Blackfoot Indian, although I don't recognize the individual and the apparent name 'Lazy Bear Hunter.' It wasn't unusual at this period for a man to own and wear 'Indian costume' from several tribes including fine pieces given him by visitors from other tribes as well as ones made by his own."*Same headdress apparently being worn by two other individuals in Negatives 4701, 4702, apparently made at same place.--MCB, 1966.
