EDWARD S. CURTIS. Plate 664 A Cheyenne Chief , 1927. 15.5x11.6" image on 17.8x13" copper photogravure plate. Plate date 1930. From Portfolio 19, The Indians of Oklahoma, of The North American Indian. Engraved on plate recto: Plate 664 / A Cheyenne Chief, 1927 / From Copyright Photograph 1927 by E.S. Curtis / Photogravure Suffolk Eng. Co. Cambridge Mass. Curtis wrote about this image: "The Cheyenne belong to the Algonquian linguistic family and therefore are related to the tribes of the Blackfoot Confederacy and to the Arapaho of the north, and much more remotely, to many of the tribes that once lived along the Atlantic seaboard and in the Midwest. They are now divided into the Northern Cheyenne, living in Montana, and the southern Cheyenne who were assigned a reservation in the present Oklahoma in 1867."
