The following photos have been taken from the Smithsonian Institution's National Anthropological Archives, except where noted otherwise.

White Antelope, Man On A Cloud, Little Chief – Cheyenne – 1868

We are decendence of White Antelope on my moms side...he was in the Sand Creek Massacre...one of his blankets is at a Museum in NM or somewhere...I can't remember the name of the museum but it maybe the Smithsonian...The blanket was recovered from the Sand Creek Massacre. My son and I have pictures with the blanket...it was brought to our familys house and all of the family was able to take pics with it....it was really neat. I think my mom has some pics of White Antelope and his wife...I'll have to look to see if we can find them and I'll post them on here....That is a great pic!!

OMG...THAT'S THE BLANKET...Yeah, the fmaily all got our pics with it...we weren't able to touch it...if we did we had to have speical gloves. When you looked at the blanket closely, you could see were it was patched and there were bullet holes. Wow!

[cris_neva]

There are the spots were a couple of the patches were or where they had to fix...

Hey peeps i wish to find some old pics of cheyenne powwow dancers or dancers in general, any like that? We heed them for a project of making old style men's traditional dancer's outfit pattern, we about to try to get enough information to describe how it used to look like and its improvement and differences in years.

There is a thread on Mamoheveto.org forum available on forum.mamoheveto.org, join us, if you wanna follow our research.
