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.
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!
Brulé Sioux Native Americans
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.
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.
The Crow Indians
In this photo, we see eight Crow Indians on horseback, silhouetted by the rising sun behind them in 1908.
This image was taken in Montana. These Indians were known to live in large areas around the Yellowstone River, which consisted of modern-day Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota.
