This image has been previously published in Francis Paul Prucha, The Great Father: The United States Government and the American Indians, vol. 2 (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1984), plate 57, facing page 687. Fig. 3: From Raymond J. DeMallie, introduction to Handbook of North American Indians, vol. 13, pt. 1: Plains, ed. Raymond J. DeMallie (Washington dc: Smithsonian Institution, 2001), 7. Fig. 8: Clarence H. Colby of Spokane, Washington, had ties to Rapid City, South Dakota, and the Black Hills through his housekeeper, Mrs. Martin (Agnes P.) Detwiler, who had relatives there. Mrs. Detwiler died in a flood in South Dakota while in her fifties, while Colby, a retired druggist, was in his late seventies. Detwiler was said to have pushed Colby out of the van in which they were trapped by the flood, but then succumbed to the waters after leaving the van. Colby’s father had started collecting Sioux items in South Dakota in 1887. Fig. 11: Another image of this archery set has been previously published in Colin F. Taylor, Buckskin and Buffalo: The Artistry of the Plains Indians (London: Salamander Books, 1998), 124.

Fig. 12: This illustration has been previously published in Clark Wissler, Material Culture of the Blackfoot Indians (New York: ams Press, 1975), reprint of 320 Appendix “Material Culture of the Blackfoot Indians,” Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History 5 (1910): 155–58. The Blackfoot sinewbacked wooden bow in the Wissler image has considerable reflex and a pronounced setback in the grip area. It has only little deflex bend in the limbs, which taper evenly toward the tips. The handle is the widest point; there is no pronounced asymmetry. Similar bows with the same construction features: (1) Siksika Museum, Old Sun Boarding School, Gleichen, Alberta, cat. no. 232, Lakota bow from the Buechel Collection at St. Francis Mission, South Dakota (Kay Koppedrayer , “Cultural Signatures,” Image 8); Father Buechel’s records indicate that he obtained the bow in April 1915 while he was working at the Holy Rosary Mission on the Pine Ridge Reservation. It came from Old Man Hušte, who in turn obtained it from his father-in-law, Red Hawk, who was born around 1829. (2) Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, 1886.21.5, Charles A. Pope Collection, before 1865, “Dakota.” (3, 4, 5) Three bows at the Museum of Ethnology in Berlin, Germany: cat. no. 12621 IVB, Konrad Preuss Collection, before 1910–1920, “Sioux”; cat. no. 8475 IVB, Emil Wilhelm Lenders, before 1911, “Kiowa”; cat. no. 352d, archery set, Colorado Ute, H. Lueders, before 1873. (6) The Denver Public Library holds a late nineteenth-century studio photograph (coll. no. X-30717) of a Ute man, shown drawing such a bow backwards unstrung. The bow in this photograph , which may have been taken between 1888 and 1890, is very similar to the bow in Wissler’s drawing. See http://digital.denverlibrary.org (accessed November 14, 2012).
