This photo of Pawnee dancers was taken in 1920. Can anyone identify any of the individuals in the photo?

Historian,
I don't see a photo attached. -
The photo is there. I can see it fine. You just have to scroll down a bit more in the post to see it, 'cause the advertising pushed it down a bit. If you click on it, it is a rather large photo, panoramic photo. You can a lot of aron design details.
My source labeled it as "2nd Annual Victory Dance, Pawnee, Oklahoma - 1920"

WOW! That's good old style!
Notice no one has their shirts hanging out over their aprons and they're showing those great beaded abstract floral patterns.
I don't know of any of these young men, just a little before my time.
Thanks for the photo though!

I am NOT Indian. I have never been to India, nor has any of my family before me! I have met these people from India, of whom you speak, and I am nothing like them. Why do you call me an Indian?
