Poor Wolf, 1880

Studio portrait of Poor Wolf (also known as Lean Wolf), a Hidatsa chief. 

The student newspaper in August 1880 records an earlier visit to the school by Poor Wolf.

The Cumberland County Historical Society has three copies of this image: PA-CH1-019a and CS-CH-034a.1-.2. 

Note: Although the caption written with the image identifies him as Mandan, he may be more appropriately identified as Hidatsa.
