November is Native American Heritage Month. To celebrate, we will highlight Native American artifacts in our collections during the month of November.
November is Native American Heritage Month and the pictures shown here are just a handful that we have in our collections. Our collections also include information about the past and present influences of Native Americans in Nebraska.
We are very fortunate to have a strong Native American photo collection and have put most of the larger collections in PastPerfect online. There are many more that have not been fully digitized or cleaned up enough to be shared online. Here are just a few selections from the collections:
Portrait of Chief Rain in the Face, Hunkpapa Sioux. Photograph is on a Trager and Kuhn Mount.
Studio photograph of Good Voice, a Brule Sioux Native American
Dr. Susan LaFlesche Picotte after she returned to the Omaha Reservation
Interior studio portrait of Sioux Jim
Richard Hastings with his dog on the Omaha Indian Reservation
Children of various ages attending the White River Indian School, ca 1888
Young men working at sewing machines inside a large room at the Genoa Indian School
