Iron Teeth, photographed by Dr. Thomas Marquis
Dr. Thomas Marquis, a physician and author who lived on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in the early twentieth century, photographed dozens of the reservation’s residents, including this compelling image of Iron Teeth, an old woman here pictured looking down, holding a hide scraper, ca. 1920.
This image and thousands more are part of the vast photographic collection housed in our McCracken Research Library.
