Book
A Northern Cheyenne album / photographs by Thomas B. Marquis ; Margot Liberty, editor ; commentary by John Woodenlegs.
"After suffering incarceration in present-day Oklahoma, the Northern Cheyennes decided they would rather risk death by trying to return to their homeland than languish in Indian Territory. During their epic journey homeward in 1878-1879, they suffered great losses, but a small group of survivors reached its destination in southeastern Montana and eventually won the right to a reservation there. A Northern Cheyenne Album presents a rare series of never-before-published photographs that document the lives of tribal people on the reservation during the early twentieth century."
"A record of an all-but-forgotten generation, this volume is also a tribute to the Northern Cheyenne elders whose resilience and adaptability helped ensure the future of their people."--Jacket.
