Photograph
William Thunder and Family
Studio portrait in front of a painted backdrop of a Ho-Chunk man posing sitting in the center wearing a suit and necktie, behind two Ho-Chunk girls posing sitting on the floor who are wearing several necklaces and earrings. Two women are posing standing behind the man and girls, and are wearing several necklaces and earrings. William Thunder (WaConChaHaTeKah) is seated to the left of his wife Mary Mollie Prophet Thunder (HoWaChoNeWinKah). Their children are seated in front of them, Kate Thunder (WaRoSheSepEWinKah), left, and Lucy Thunder (ENooKahKah). The young woman resting her hand on William’s shoulder is possibly identified as x’ax it nelic, her Indian name in the old Ho-Chunk writing system. |
