content: Note from M. Blaker to Mr Ewers (12/2/66). This is one of 6 unidentified photographs left for copying by Dr Frost, whom you sent over to see me last September. It is reproduced in Following the Frontier with F. Jay Haynes, 1964, page 220 with the caption, "The Famous Blackfoot Warrior, Two Crow." I would judge that this means Blackfoot Dakota, from the costume. Would you agree ??

content: Note to M. Blaker from Mr Ewers. Yes, I think he must be other than a Blackfoot Blackfoot. However, strangely enough, there is a reproduction of this same portrait in John E. Parsons The First Winchester The Story of the 1866 Repeating Rifle, page 145, captioned "Poundmaker, Chief of the Crees." And the portrait is attributed to "Courtesy of Royal Canadian Mounted Police." Do you have other portraits of Poundmaker with which you can make comparisons ? He was an historically important Plains Cree chief. Parson's interest was primarily in his gun - a good example of a Winchester model '66 ! You might check Mounted Police Museum, in Regina, Saskatchewan. I doubt if John would know if he was Cree or Sioux. John Ewers.
