Rosebud Yellow Robe

$84.95

Early 20th-century, circa 1925-1930

Inscribed “Princess Rosebud Rose, Chief Yellow Rose, Sioux -O Neil photo.” The misspelling of names referred to Rosebud Yellow Robe and her father, Chauncey Yellow Robe, a founder of the Society of American Indians, the first national American Indian rights organization.

This rare undated photograph in postcard format presumably dates to the early 20th century, circa 1925-1930—the photograph in full-length portraits of both father and daughter in traditional ceremonial garb. The postcard marked Sioux, both belonging to the Lakota. A subculture of the Sioux Indians.
