Hand-tinted stereograph, T. W. Ingersoll [?], c. 1899, 8.9 x 17.8 cm. 

Two Native American Indian men outside dwelling  made of skins.  One is sitting, wearing shirt, jacket, pants, headdress, and tall boots made of animal hide; the other is standing, wearing long-sleeved shirt, loincloth, decorated pants, moccasins, and hat with feathers.  Both are holding tomahawks.  (Background and dwelling same as ST.49.3.) 

On front: “493.  Jake Nahnami.  Old Sioux Chief (Walking Stones) and Jukawcauh Disca.” 

On back: “Jake Nahnami, the Indian seated and holding a tomahawk is one of the Gros Ventres (pronounced grovon) Sioux tribe.  His people have not for many years been in conflict with the government authorities, being located further North than the turbulent tribes about the Rosebud and Standing Rock Agencies.  Jake Nahnami, is more than seventy years old and his counsels have gone far towards keeping the young men of his tribe from following the example of their Southern brethren and engaging in ghost dances, raiding expeditions and other manifestations of race hatred which are in the heart of every young Indian brave.  It is a common saying among the Sioux that if they had their rights from the Government, instead of a few half-starved cattle being given them once or twice a season, they would each be independently wealthy and would not have to beg for enough food to carry them through the winter season.  It is unlikely that this country will ever again see an Indian war, yet such is the peculiar temperament of the redman and such the influence of the medicine men, or priests, among them that hopeless as it would be a conflict in which thousands of warriors would take part and dozens of lives be lost, could be precipitated at almost any time.  A8835”
