The 'Chief'
Do we have any idea of the tribe that outfit represents?
I'm ignorant in doing any such identification...but am curious as I grew up with a fair number of Native American classmates in Oklahoma.
I don't know. I wish there was some identification. [I have some Native American heritage.] I had just turned on my pc this morning and got the streaming windows going and just barely happened to cap that. It gave me a sense of historical pride and really touched me.
IIRC, that type of feather headdress is representative of some of the 'Plains Indians' such as Sauk & Fox, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Sioux, Blackfeet, Comanche, and Pawnee.

It did look similar to the ones we'd see in newspaper photos when pow-wows were
held in the local area of my hometown.
Our locals were Poncas, Tonkawas, Otoe-Missouria, Kaws and other tribes that
I probably was never acquanited with, being a pale-face.
