This collection of rare photo-postcards By Frank Bennett Fiske documents Fort Yates, North Dakota, the tribal headquarters of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, at the beginning of the twentieth century.

There are six photographs related to the Catholic Church in Fort Yates, including one interesting image of the Catholic Societies Meeting House and another showing the “graves of Indian police killed in the Sitting Bull fight - on Dec. 15, 1890.” There are two views of “old Yates,” one showing the officers’ quarts and another showing, “the remains of the old corner house. There are views of the Lingren Hotel and one the Old Galpin House, a historical landmark, located 8 miles from Fort Yates. There are two photos, not printed on postcard paper and without Fiske’s credit stamp. One shows a model constructed by “Mrs. Holding Eagle,” presumably a respected Mandan seed-bearer named Scattered Corn who married a Hidatska man known as Holds the Eagle or Holding Eagle. The other non-credited photograph is captioned “Rock scene on south side of Killdeer Mountain.

The last photograph is a portrait of the artist, F.B. Fiske, with a manuscript notation on the back indicating the photograph was taken by his wife, Angela Cournoyer, in 1928.
