For your consideration are these two early 1900s photos of the Blackfeet Tribe and Chief Joseph's Nez Perce Tribe from photographers A. W. Wilson and Fred H. Kiser of Kiser Photo Company. The first photo in this collection is an original by A. W. Wilson and features Chief Joseph and a group of Nez Perce warriors flying the American flag in Jackson, Montana. In the bottom right the photo reads, "Chief Joseph Tribe No. 27, Jackson, Mont. 4th Sun, Buck Moon G.S.D. 415". There are 27 Native American men on horseback and 2 in small, horse drawn wagons. The photo has been glued to a grey piece of heavy cardstock. The photo shows good condition overall with no signs of damage or wear. The botom right of the grey cardstock reads, "A. W. Wilson, Jackson, Mont.". The photo measures 5 7/8" L x 7 3/4" W, while the entire piece measures 8 5/8" L x 10 1/2" W. The second photo in this collection is from Fred H. Kiser (1878 - 1955), an accomplished mountaineer and promoter, who was one of the most successful and widely known landscape and commercial photographers in the American West during the first two decades of the early 20th century. His work is credited with popularizing Crater Lake National Park and the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon and establishing Glacier National Park in Montana. The photo depicts two Blackfeet tribesmen walking through the plains at the Medicine Lodge Ceremony dressed in ceremonial outfits know as Grass Dancers. The grass dance is a fast-paced dance consisting of sweeping motions and symmetry. It is generally faster than Northern Tradition or Straight style dancing, but not as fast as a Fancy Dance. Like with most pow wow dances, the dancer brings his foot down to tap or step on the drum beat. Whatever the grass dancer does on one side of his body, he must also do that on the other side to create symmetry and mimic waving grass. The bottom of the photo reads, "Copyright 1910 by Kiser Photo Co., Portland, Or.". The back of the photo says that the photo was for the Great Northern Railway and reads, "4744, Blackfeet Indian Grass Dancers at Medicine Lodge Ceremony". The photo is in good condition with no signs of wear or damage present. It measures 7" L x 3 2/16" W.
