Copyrighted by the photographer John A. Johnson of Somerville, Massachusetts, this photoprint is catalogued as "Sioux Indians," though its caption card reads only "Indians," and the record flags these details as unverified. Around 1908, studio and commercial photographers across the United States made many portraits of Native American subjects, which were often sold as souvenirs or postcards to non-Native buyers. The record does not name the sitters, their nation or the circumstances of the sitting, so viewers should consider how such pictures were posed and marketed when reading them.
