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!
Buffalo Bill
In this photo, we see two native Americans beside a cowboy on a bale of hay. These three guys were part of the Buffalo Bill show.
Cool photo, Indeed!
Sacheen Littlefeather
Back in the old West, Native Americans were subject to a wide array of brutal treatment for many centuries. In this photo, we see Sacheen Littlefeather, who became one of the leading activist voices for Native American civil rights.
Littlefeather gave a speech at the 45th Annual Academy Awards in 1973 going on stage instead of actor Marlon Brando, who declined his award for Best Actor to protest the treatment of Native American people in show business. She was later accused of falsely claiming to have a Native American background but her stint at the Academy Awards was still impactful.
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.
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.
