Description
Two men, one identified as John War Eagle, work on the set of the movie The Great Sioux Uprising. A man dressed in a cowboy hat, buckskin jacket, pants, and boots has his back to the camera facing a man in regalia. The man in regalia appears to be a North American Indian. Three large feathers extend out from his hair. He wears shell necklaces, bone breastplate, moccasins, and long sleeve buckskin shirt and pants with fringes and beadwork. His hair is contained in two braids with fur hair wraps. A circular metal device, possibly a microphone, is attached to a metal rod that hovers above the two men. A large light is being operated by a man dressed in a hat, long sleeved shirt, and cuffed jeans. A rifle lays on a wool blanket on the ground behind the men. A group of people dressed in Native American attire sit in front of a teepee. To the right of the men is a tall wooden pole with feathers at its base and capped with a horned animal skull. The man with with his back to the camera is most likely Jeff Chandler, one of the stars of the movie. He is also seen in the image PH021_sioux_uprising_2.
