Lone Tree - Apsaroke. Photographer: Curtis, Edward Sheriff
- Scope & Content:
-
Head-and-shoulders half-profile portrait of Lone Tree, an Apsaroke chief and medicine man. His biography appears in volume 4 of The North American Indian, p.202: 'Born about 1828. River Crow; Not Mixed clan. After a long series of fasts in which he cut himself severely, a brown eagle appeared and gave him ability to lead war-parties, a vocation in which he achieved such success that although he has no coup to his credit he is regarded as having had a most honorable career. He was well known as a "mysterious person" who could clearly foresee the future and predict success or failure of war-parties. He made his prophecies in a darkened lodge, wrapped in a buffalo-robe pinned in the front with a bunch of eagle-feathers and with the hairy side out. It is said that he frequently informed his returning warriors where they would find the home camp, and that his predictions never failed. He foretold the death of more than a hundred of the party consisting of Apsaroke and Atsina who were preparing to go against the Piegan, saying, "I saw blood flowing toward me and I (that is, his medicine, brown eagle) did not drink" - proof that the blood was not that of enemies. The prediction was verified. See Volume V, page 109.'
