Letter from Nancy C. Russell to George Sack
The Wolf
Spirit of the Buffalo
Scope and Content Notes
Leather album page with a photograph of a bronze Blackfoot Medicine Man and Buffalo Skull. Remarks for the photograph include, "this Indian is a 'Sun Priest,' or commonly called 'Medicine Man,' as none but one favored by Sun would be allowed to smoke the sacred buffalo pipe and pray to the spirit of the buffalo which he is doing and offering the pipe to the skull, or spirit and at the same time begging him to send buffalo to his people as they are starving."
