"Gee, you boys sure look civilized."

He congratulated us and he gave us medals for looking so civilized.

We told him about how our land had been stolen and how our people were dying. When we finished he shook our hands and said, "endeavor to persevere!"

They stood us in a line: John Jumper, Chili McIntosh, Buffalo Hump, Jim Buckmark, and me — I am Lone Watie. They took our pictures. And the newspapers said, "Indians vow to endeavor to persevere."

We thought about that for a long time. "Endeavor to persevere." And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union.

Taken from Lone Watie's (Chief Dan George) speech from The Outlaw Josey Wales

Based on a book written by a virulent and hateful racist. One of his other "literary achievements" was George Wallace's infamous line: "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever"

The crow would be one of the tribes least upset about the US. They were in the middle of being genocided by the Sioux before war US involvement.

The embedded comment in the picture, on the lowest log, suggests it was colorized and therefore presumably touched up with modern technology.

Because film was looking good way before digital did and this was presumably taken on film.

Hmmmm. Well Yellowstone is set today. Those cowboy outfits in the pic are very OG. The glasses are forward looking for ‘41 but old-school now, though they’d rock in a vintage way.
