Native American women


Native American women with her children. One of which she adopted after being freed from slavery.
From wiki's description of it:
The Oklahoma Historical Society has this image in their American Indian archives and lists the people as being from the Czarina Conlan Collection Photographs. Cheyenne Indians - (L. to R.): Mrs. Amos Chapman, her daughter Mrs. Lee Moore as an infant, Mrs. Chapman's sister, and an unidentified young black girl. Photo by "Soule View Artist". 1886.
If the photo was taken in 1886, then that child was born free unless she's a lot older than she looks. And the photo's source seems to have no idea what her relationship was to the other people in the picture.
