1 photographic print. | Sioux family in native dress.


This photograph by J. A. Anderson shows a Sioux family in native dress. The archive dates it to 1910.

The term "Sioux" in older records often referred to the Lakota, the westernmost division of the three Sioux groupings. The Great Sioux Reservation established under the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty was divided by Congress in 1889, creating Pine Ridge and other smaller reservations in what is now South Dakota while opening much of the remaining land to settlement.

Anderson's title uses the word "Stampede," but the archive record offers no explanation of its meaning in this context.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
