Here we see a photo of the Brulé Sioux Native Americans when they traveled horseback across the plains.
They are sometimes referred to as Burnt Thigh Nation and were called Brulé by the French settlers.
Sacheen Little Feather
In this photo, we see Sacheen Little Feather, who became one of the leading activist voices for the Native American civil rights.
She gave a speech at the 45th Annual Academy Awards asking Marlon Brando to decline his award to protest the treatment of Native American people in show business.
Fans of Buffalo Bill
If you think these people were going into battle, you might have been wrong. This image shows the large group of Native Americans lining up in the 1890s.
They were lining up for the Famous Buffalo Bill Wild West Show to participate. Now, that is a long line!
Barbara Rush in, Taza, Son of Cochise
Many of the portrayals in most Hollywood films were of Native American Tribe Women.
In this image, we see Barbara Rush from the 1954 film, Taza, Son of Cochise, wearing a Native American Costume. In the movie, she was the chief of the Chiricahua Apache tribe and a key leader during the Apache wars.
The Land Rushes
In this 1900’s Image, we see a man on his horse while waving his hat. Back then, groups would race to claim the land they were interested in.
Sometimes, as many as 50,000 people participated in these races just to get a chunk of the land for themselves. Now, that’s competitive.
