| L to R: Mrs. Amos Chapman, her daughter, sister (all Cheyenne, and an unidentified girl of African American descent) 1886
I love this picture. This picture says it all. What else more is there to say? I wonder what is the story behind this picture? I see this child that is of African American descent is dressed in Native American clothing, a sign of cultural exchange. It seems to me this child is well taking care of and loved. I'm pretty sure that this child has learned a new language or bilingual; there is also a possibility that this child married an Native American man and had children of their own. Below is a picture of a Native American/African American woman.
Responsible for escorting settlers, railroad crews, and cattle drivers to the new frontier of the "West". They also fought against American Indian tribes. The Cheyenne tribe nicknamed these African American soldiers "Buffalo Soldiers" both for their courage and their curly course hair. The "Buffalo Soldiers" had recieved medals of honor during the Western Campaign.

Indians enslaved the black race in the past.
ReplyDeleteThat is true even though both races were oppressed, which is kind of ironic; some of the Native Indians did not give escaped slaves back to proper authorities. So some slaves ended up to be part of the tribe. Some Native Americans did not enslaves slaves at all. The tribes that did do the enslaving gave the slaves reparations, after the civil war.
