Curious detail, that of the Crow loop necklace...I suppose such items became quite popular among the Lakotas by the end of the 19th century - I remember having seen at least two pictures of Lakota women wearing the traditional elk-teeth dress.

Great photos. What's the date for these? 1920s?

Just a quick note:
Marcellus is quite happy when he's photographed by himself . . . but with the White Man . . . Ugh!

I have read that Marcellus Red Tomahawk was the Captain of Police at Standing Rock in 1892, 1893 & 1894.
Does anybody know of how he was assigned, appointed and/or promoted to this position?
Also, David Standing Soldier succeeded Marcellus Red Tomahawk in 1895 as Captain of Police at Standing Rock. David Standing Soldier supposedly remained as Captain from 1895-1902. Does anybody have any confirmation of this and/or if David Standing Soldier actually had a longer tenure as Captain of Police at Standing Rock?

What I can offer you on the idenity of the family of Red Tomahawk
taken 1908 would be information from the census records.
From left to right:
Henry Red Tomahawk born 1891 and son of Marcella and Marcellus Red Tomahawk; Catherine Pretty Skirt born 1854 wife
Louise Red Tomahawk born 1905 daughter of Catherine and Marcellus Red Tomahawk; Marcellus Red Tomahawk born 1852 died Aug 11, 1931;
Catherine Red Tomahawk born 1882 daughter of Marcella and Marcellus Red Tomahawk. Source is the 1892 census and the 1908 census.
