Wolf Necklace Yanktonai

[Dietmar]

We discussed a photograph of Wolf Necklace posted by Frank some month ago in an "other tribes" thread, but going once again through the D. F. Barry´s photos at the Denver Public Library I found another picture of him:

Here is the only information we have already of this chief:
Wolf Necklace was a Upper Yanktonais chief at Standing Rock in the 1880ies.
Wolf Necklace had 24 families under him. He frought in the Whitestone Massacre 1863. The agent changed his name to Dogskin so today his descendant on Standing Rock go by Dogskin. (Ladonna)


by James H. Lucas (1850-1900) photographer at Standing Rock Agency

Any more information?

Thanks
Dietmar

See my note on Thunder Hawk. The first portrait of Wolf Necklace was taken by Goff, possibly in the fall of 1881 at the same time as the portrait of Sitting Bull, Thunder Hawk and others. Barry apparently reproduced the images later.
