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

Four Native American Indian men sitting together on the grass, one smoking a long pipe.  Two are dressed in traditional clothing, the other two in European clothing (including hats).  Horse grazing in background. 

On front: “443.  Passing the Peace Pipe Around the Council.  Copyrighted, 1899, by T. W. Ingersoll.” 

On back: “Here is a meeting between representatives of two different tribes of Indians.  The men in civilized dress on the left are Chippewas; those in full Indian toggery are from their ancient enemies, the Sioux.  The peace pipe in this case is a mere matter of form which must precede a conference.  The village in the background belongs to the Sioux tribe and the Chippewas have come inviting their red brethren to a harvest dance and feast, which will be held a few miles distant, a short time in the future.  The gentleman with the lady’s hat and with the pipe in his mouth, is the famous Sioux Indian, ‘Tin Soldier,’ renowned for his skill in war and no less renowned for his trickiness at all games of chance.  A8835”
