The Reimagined Past

SIOUX BABY. Sure, your baby picture was cute, but you did not get to wear a porcupine hair and feather roach and sit upon a racoon hide. Frank Bennett Fiske was best known for his portraits of Sioux taken at his Fort Yates (North Dakota) studio on the Standing Rock Reservation. In 1900 at age 17, Fiske had taken over the studio previously operated by S. T. Fansler.

The source file was a low-res scan of an undated real photo postcard at the North Dakota State Historical Society. The card was printed on DOPS brand paper, common on cards mailed during 1925—42. However, the photo may have been taken decades earlier
