Portraits of Native Americans made by Charles Milton Bell in his Washington, DC studio. Depicted individuals include Red Cloud, Oglala; Spotted Tail, Brule; Quanah Parker, Comanche; Nawat, Arapaho; Scabby Bull, Arapaho; Wolf Robe, Cheyenne; D. W. Bushyhead, Cherokee; John Jumper, Seminole; Plenty Coups, Crow; Rushing Bear, Arikara; Gall, Hunkpapa; John Grass, Sihasapa; Lean Wolf, Hidatsa; Chief Joseph, Nez Perce; and Lone Wolf, Kiowa; as well as people associated with Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show. The collection also includes copies of some images by other photographers, including G. G. Rockwood and F. T. Cummins.
Charles Milton Bell (circa 1849-1893) was the youngest member of a family of photographers that operated a studio in Washington, DC, from around 1860-1874. Bell established his own studio on Pennsylvania Avenue in 1873 and it rapidly became one of the leading photography studios in the city. Bell developed the patronage of Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, who sent Native American visitors to the studio to have their portraits made. Bell also made photographs of Native Americans for the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of American Ethnology.
The collection is open for research.
Access to the collection requires an appointment.

Photo Lot 80, Charles Milton Bell photographs of Native Americans, National Anthropological Archives, Smithsonian Institution
Digital surrogates for many of the original negatives available online.
When the C. M. Bell studio finally closed in 1909, its entire collection of negatives was acquired by another Washington photographer, Isaac M. Boyce. Boyce separated out the Native American negatives and attempted to sell them to the Bureau of American Ethnology. It was not until the 1950s, however, that the Bureau finally bought the negatives from Boyce's son, William.
The set of prints that make up this collection was prepared as working material in the task of identifying the photographs of the Boyce collection. Prints were given arbitrary numbers when they were accessioned into the archives, with numbers 266-341 going to the oversize plates. All of the plates in the collection appear to have been copied in the 1950s shortly after their purchase; copies of the non-oversize plates were originally filed in MS 4661 and copies of the oversize plates were filed in Photo Lot 80. There was a project in 1998 to copy and conserve many of the oversize plates in a larger format and these copies were also added to Photo Lot 80.
Copy prints previously filed in MS 4661 have been relocated and merged with Photo Lot 80. These are also copy prints of Bell negatives that were acquired from Boyce and form part of this collection.
Additional C. M. Bell photographs held in National Anthropological Archives Photo Lot 4420, Photo Lot 24, Photo Lot 60, Photo Lot 81-44, Photo lot 87-2P, and Photo Lot 90-1.

OPPS NEG 52836
Date determined from BAE Negative 3238-e. In BAE Negative 3238-e Red Cloud is wearing the same feather and scarf that he is wearing in this picture. Little Wound in BAE Negative 3238-e is wearing the same shirt and breastplate that Red Cloud is wearing in this picture. Red Cloud may have changed into the Indian shirt and breastplate to pose for the individual photo. The pants in Arbitrary Number 9 could be the same pair that he is wearing in BAE Negative 3238-e. See also BAE 3237-a, where he is wearing the same clothes. But the feather in this picture is very similar to that worn by White Cloud in BAE Negative 3143. Perhaps Bell lent Indian clothing to the Indians who posed for him. In that case BAE Negative 3238-e need not be taken at the same time as this photograph.

Iron Wing 3. Spotted Tail 4. Coarse Voice (according to Hyde); unidentified, but not Coarse Voice (according to Anderson) 5. White Thunder
BAE Negative 3179 G - I've corresponded with Hyde about this photo and he says that the identification he obtained from Dave Whipple could easily be false. Whipple was 90 years old when he named the chiefs. Still, he did a good job, for there is only one of the five Indians seated that I can dispute his identification of. This photo also was taken on the 1880 trip to Carlisle & Washington. The delegation from Rosebud agency was led by Spotted Tail, and included White Thunder, Iron Wing, Black Crow, and Two Strike. All these except Two Strike are in the photo, but I do not think the old Indian, second from the right is Coarse Voice as Whipple says. And it definitely is not Two Strike. I have more data on the group from Rosebud than any of the others and I am certain that Coarse Voice did not make the trip. None of the reports made before the trip began, or after the chiefs reached Washington made any mention of him. Who this Indian is I can not now say. I don't think he was from either Pine Ridge or Rosebud. The fact that he is pictured with the Brules from Rosebud may mean that he was one of the delegation from Lower Brule agency and related somehow to Spotted Tail's Upper Brules at Rosebud.
Two men went to Washington, from Lower Brule in 1880, Medicine Bull and Likes the Bear. Whether this Medicine Bull was the old chief (close to 60 in 1880) or his son I can not say. Likes the Bear did not sign the land agreement of 1889 (nearly all the Lower Brules did) and it may be that he was the old man with Spotted Tail, and may have died between 1880 and 1889. A closer check of the records might supply the solution. Whipple says the white man with the beard was Agent Pollock, but I wonder. Pollock was actually an inspector in the Indian Dept. and had served as agent at Rosebud for only a short time in 1877 and '78.
The man in charge of the entire 1880 trip was the agent at Yankton Agency, Major Andrus. This bearded gentleman was with the chiefs at Carlisle and I am inclined to feel that he was Andrus and not Pollock. When the chiefs went home from Washington they stopped at Carlisle and Spotted Tail got into an awful row with the superintendent, Capt. Pratt. The result was that Spot took 6 of his family out of the school. None of the reports of this business or of the trip as a whole, make [any] mention of Pollock. He was liked and respected by Spotted Tail and had he been in the delegation I feel sure some mention would have been made in connection with a possible attempt to keep Spot's children at Carlisle. The unidentified man next to Pollock (or Andrus) is, I believe, Spotted Tail's son in law, Charlie Tackett. He was employed at the Carlisle school, probably as an interpreter for the Sioux children, and accompanied Spot to Washington along with his wife, Spot's daughter, and her four brothers. (Louis Bordeaux did not go on 1880 trip !). I have a photo of the Sioux delegation when it was at Carlisle, which I made use of in making the above identifications. In many cases articles of dress or ornaments are the same on individuals in both the Carlisle photo and those taken in Washington. -- Letter of Harry Anderson 119-11 233 Street St Albans 11, N.Y., April 2, 1956 to Mrs Blaker.
