This intriguing collection of cyanotype and platinum print photographs shows Native American life in Montana at the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century. The photos were likely taken in the third Crow Agency (its present location), as there are three photographs showing Crow camps along the Little Bighorn River. There are also several photographs showing a festival or ceremony; images of travoises in use; thoughtfully-composed views of tipis; shots of US Army presence, including one photo of a man with a bandaged arm; scenic views; and interior views of an unidentified home, most likely the photographers. A captivating collection worthy of greater study.
The original Crow Agency was established in 1868 and located in the western reaches of the Yellowstone River Valley, north of the Absaroka Range of Mountains. In 1875 the Agency was relocated eastward to a new site north of modern-day Absarokee, MT. In 1884 it was moved for a final time, 60 miles south of Billings, MT, along the Little Bighorn River.
