The Eagle – 1913
This photo was taken back in 1913 and showcased the members of the Blackfoot tribe. The Blackfoot tribe originated from the Great Lakes and dwelled there before they took control of the lands of Alberta, Edmonton, South Dakota, and Yellowstone. Around 800,000 acres of the land was sold by Chief White Calf for an estimated $1.5 million with the hopes that they could still go on the land for hunting purposes. However, by the start of the 19th century, the land was controlled by the Europeans and Americans, who initially ended their overall ownership of the premises.
Sitting Bull – 1885
The 19th century saw a relationship being formed between Sitting Bull and Buffalo Bill and was a connection cemented in history. For many people, it seemed pretty strange that Sitting Bull was the leader of the Lakota tribe when it went up against the government of the United States of America. Bull made a legendary appearance on Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show that lasted for over four months. Bull lost his life in the battle with the government of the United States at Fort Yates in 1890.
