Chief High Hawk and one of his wives pose in front of a log house in this black and white photograph. High Hawk is wearing a shirt, pants, a hat, and moccasins, and he has a blanket wrapped around him. In his right hand, he holds a peace pipe. His wife has a blanket wrapped around her shoulders, covering the rest of her clothes; she also wears moccasins. The photograph was taken at the Rosebud Reservation.
High Hawk led a Brule band that advocated the Ghost Dance in the late 1880s. He was part of a Sioux delegation to Washington, D.C., after the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. The Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation is located nine miles north of Valentine, Nebraska, in South Dakota.
