Photograph
Ho-Chunk Family During Winter
Using a portable, 4 x 5 glass plate negative camera, Van Schaick photographed Ho-Chunk on the streets of Black River Falls. These occasional pictures offer a glimpse into the everyday life of the Ho-Chunk. Here, in an elevated view, is Harold Blackdeer (WeShipKah) waiting with his wife, Nellie W. Blackdeer (CheHaCheWinKah), and their son Earl W. Blackdeer, in the snow. This photograph, taken around 1915, was shot from the window of Van Schaick’s studio. The Blackdeer family have their horses packed with goods for the winter. |
