Description: In this black and white studio photograph, Crow Dog (Sunka Kangi) is wearing a white shirt. He has a scarf tied around his neck and a piece of fabric wrapped around his head. This photograph was taken at the Rosebud Reservation. In 1881, Crow Dog shot and killed Spotted Tail. He was convicted of murder, but the conviction was overturned in a U.S. Supreme Court case that determined that the federal government did not have jurisdiction over crimes involving Indians committed on Indian land. Crow Dog was also a leader in the Ghost Dance Uprising of 1890. The Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation is located nine miles north of Valentine, Nebraska, in South Dakota.
