1800s-1900s Portraits Of Native American Teen Girls Show Their Unique Beauty And Style (15+ Pics)

I love love love seeing historical/archival photos of people who are not white Christian Europeans 🙂

this is my fave from the source, tho.

You have no fucking idea how much i love you for the sources.

The caption for the smiley gal up above is “#O-o-be, The Kiowas, 1894”. Come on, if you’re gonna reblog the image, at least give her name and tribe! She’s even got her name on her blanket! Also OMG she’s wearing an elk tooth dress…Having a dad who could gather THAT MANY elk teeth was a sign of high prestige for plains natives, girl’s got bling! I love the rest of the outfit too!

Kiowas Tribe. 1894.

comprise two Native American tribes, the SĂł’taeo’o or SĂł’taĂ©taneo’o and
the Tsétsêhéstâhese. These tribes merged in the early 19th century.
