Native Americana by Fiske
  I usually do not collect ETHNIC but the clarity of  these real photos by Fiske (photographer) led me to put them under a photo category of my own.  All but the Sitting Bull photo, which is not shown, are taken from his own negatives.  He took over the photo studio on the reservation in the early years after Sitting Bull was already gone and used an old glass negative to make his photo of him.

Note: (The necklace on Rain-in-the Face goes without words!)

This last is marked twice as Fiske photo and made for the New York City Store.

These were all found in one location so I might have 'overlooked' others. I am interested in buying any others that might exist.
