[NATIVE AMERICANS]. LUCAS, James H., photographer. CDV of "Young Fire Heart." Standing Rock, Dakota Territory, n.d.
2 1/4 x 3 7/8 in. CDV on cardstock mount (light toning, some spotting and soiling to image and mount, light wear to mount edges and corners). Verso bears Lucas's imprint with inscribed location, "Standing Rock, D.T." and subject "Young Fire Heart." The seated subject wears a large vertically-positioned feather in his hair and holds a large tomahawk with one hand.
The subject featured here is likely Fire Heart V (1851-1926), the principal leader of the Crow Feather Hair Ornaments band of Blackfoot Sioux.
