Great picture!
Wonder what the occasion was to have them all gathered and photographed?
Is his name “Little Bear” and not Liver Bear?
Poor Lame!
i guess 2 dogs fucking wasn’t available?
sorry i had to
Lame? Son sorry you look like a Lame.
The variation in names is intriguing. Some are strong, badass, kinda odd, or vague descriptions. Poor Chief Lame though, maybe it meant something different 130 years ago but it hasn’t aged particularly well hehe
Very cool pic though
All those awesome names then here’s Lame.
That’s Chief Lame to you…
What is the order of the names? Back row left to right and then front row left to right or is it up and down from left to right?
Where’s John Redcorn ?
Is Standing Bull sitting or standing in the picture?
these men all look tired of the white mans BS
they really did have some of the most bad ass names.
Maybe its pronounced lamé, cause he’s fabulous
I bet High Hawk and Eagle Pipe were friends
At the Custer Battlefield memorial in Crow Agency MT, There is an engraving of the names who perished, and one of the Crow (Apsaalooke) who was on Custer side had the unfortunate name of Plenty Lice.
The kid was named “Has the big white horse” at birth? Dude was born into privilege
My favorite names are “Young Man Afraid of Horses” and Red Cloud. YMAOH got his name because he would strike fear into the hearts of enemies when they heard his horse coming towards them.
Red Cloud got his name from the pink mist that would splatter as he bashed their heads in with his war club.
Did they actually use these names in everyday life? Like someone would say “morning, Bear who looks back running!”?
10 Commanders/Guardians
so 10 TRUE Americans
Fighting Terrorism since 1492

Super cool. Would like to chill for a while with one of these guys.
Their body count must be > 100
Maybe it’s Chief Lamé, named for his flamboyant attire.
Lamé is a type of fabric woven or knit with threads made of metallic fiber wrapped around natural or synthetic fibers like silk, nylon, or spandex for added strength and stretch.
2 and 3 parents were being extra naming them
Amazing how baldness just isn’t a thing with them. Slightly jealous.
Native Americans, those who lived with nature, not trying to conform her. As many years as they lived with the land and all that walked upon it, or flew above it, or underneath, these are the true Denizens of this continent, and she has not been the same since then.
Wow – if only they were in charge


Wow people got racist real quick – love the pic
“High Hawk” what a beautiful baddass name.
According to a quick Google image search, Standing Bull is the first one in the back row, so that we know who is who.
This is cool af
Real OG’s right here! It’s truly sad what they did to your people.
Their fashion sense is interesting. Quite an eclectic mix of styles.
Wow such strong facial structure, Big cheek bones. Don’t see that often if at all anymore

My daughter is adopted Chinese. We did her DNA ancestry one year as a lark because it’s kind of the only other thing we could get to know about her, and the DNA maps lit up from Asia to North America to South America. DNA pre-dates modern history.
Have never been able to look at Native Americans or Indigenous populations the same way since.
Why’d they do #9 dirty like that?
