A disbound album of 74 photographs of Hopi pueblos of the Southwest, 1879-1880, and studio portraits of Indian leaders who visited Washington, D.C., on delegation trips, 1867-1890. The majority of individuals photographed are from the Ponca, Yankton Sioux, Navajo and Zuni tribes, with a smaller number of portraits of Apache, Sac & Fox, Ojibwa, and Two Kettle Sioux Indians. The first part of the album contains 26 views of pueblos in New Mexico and Arizona made by photographer John K. Hillers during surveys with the Bureau of Ethnology, Smithsonian Institution, 1879-1880. Almost all are broad scenes of the pueblos and surroundings, with one view of Hopi women in a dance circle at Oraibi and one view of a Navajo hogan. The second section of the album contains 48 studio portraits, including many Ponca Indian leaders listed in William Henry Jackson's "Descriptive Catalogue of Photographs of North American Indians" (1877). Other portraits include Yankton Sioux leaders (1867); Navajo chief Manuelito and his wife and son; We-Wha, a Zuni male transvestite; Zuni governor Pedro Pino; and other notable individuals. Besides Jackson, the portraits were made by photographers Charles M. Bell, Alexander Gardner, John K. Hillers and A. Zeno Shindler.
