Additional Information
This striking 1884 cabinet card photograph by Palmquist & Jurgens of St. Paul, Minnesota, presents the legendary Hunkpapa Lakota leader Sitting Bull seated in half-length profile, holding a sacred calumet. Registered with the U.S. Copyright Office as number 7506, the portrait captures one of the most consequential Indigenous leaders in American history.
Sitting Bull had led his people to victory at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, defeating Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and the Seventh Cavalry in one of the most significant Native American military triumphs. By 1884, he had returned from exile in Canada and was living under government supervision at Standing Rock Agency.
The photograph was created during a period when Sitting Bull became something of a celebrity, even touring briefly with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show in 1885. Palmquist & Jurgens operated a prominent photography studio in St. Paul, documenting notable figures of the American frontier during this transformative era of Western expansion.
This powerful portrait offers a window into the dignity and spiritual authority of a leader who refused to surrender his people's way of life without resistance. The composition captures a complex figure whose legacy continues to resonate, making it an extraordinary addition to any collection celebrating Native American heritage and American frontier history.
