Ponca Chief Dust Maker In Northern Nebraska, 1898
Among the Kansa, Osage, and Quapaw people, the clan of this man was known as the Ponca people. It’s believed that the tribe settled in the Ohio River valley, located east of the Mississippi River. Over time, they moved westward following the Iroquois wars and settled in what is now Montana.
In 1989, Frank Rinehart captured this image of Chief Dust Maker. Following a cordial visit to an Oglala Lakota camp, the bulk of the group’s leadership was eliminated by Lakotas, leading to the group’s demise. They launched an assault on thirty commanders, but only twelve of them managed to stay alive.
