Original – Hidatsa warrior from the crazy dog society performing the dog dance in traditional regalia. Other tribes, most notably the Cheyenne, also have a dog society who were noted for wearing the same style headdress.
Edit by Adam and Crisco 1492: Lots and lots of fixes.
Reason
High historic and cultural value. The image shows a Hidatsa Indian man dancing the "Dog Dance" while dressed in traditional dancing regalia. The image refers to the man as Minnetaree, a Mandan name commonly used when referring to Hidatsa people.

  • Support edit, assuming the white is its natural color. I'm somewhat surprised that the LoC digitization may not be faithful, but perhaps the paper just faded away or otherwise aged in such manner. Brandmeistertalk 09:38, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's a version with a colour bar that shows it's definitely white paper. That version is otherwise a much worse version, but is enough to check. The LoC is actually really bad about colour. Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:16, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
