Hand-tinted stereograph, T. W. Ingersoll, 1899, 8.9 x 17.8 cm. 

Native American Indian family in front of tipi.  Two men: one standing and wearing fringed shirt, pants, and moccasins; the other sitting and wearing feather headdress, shirt, and red pants. Woman standing in opening of tipi wearing long blue dress and patterned red /yellow shawl and holding baby. 

On front: “436.  Gray Eagle and Family.  Sioux Lodges.  Copyrighted, 1899, by T. W. Ingersoll.” 

On back: “Grey Eagle, the chief, is shown at the right of the picture, his son Tomahawk to the left and his wife and youngest child in the opening to the lodge.  Grey Eagle wears the full regalia of the chief, the war bonnet being remarkable for the beauty of the eagle feathers.  The child in the squaw’s arms is deprived of his usual carrying board by the fact that the family are away from home and the mother has extemporized a Sioux carrying bag.  The shawl which is draped over her shoulders will, upon occasions, be deftly fashioned into a sack and the child placed upright therein.  It is held just over one of the mother’s shoulders.  Holding the fabric closely crossed over her breast, Mrs. Grey Eagle can carry the baby without great inconvenience for a long distance.  A8835”
