Seated: Yellow Bear, J. Merivalle, Billy Garnett, Leon Pallardy, Three Bears
I don't know the occasion, nor where this was taken. It looks as if there more on the right which is cut off. But I am grateful that the names of all these participants were posted on Facebook with their photo. I also notice that the "white men" aren't in uniform. I wonder who they were...
Billy Garnett was an interpreter. Here's a story about him and the murder of Crazy Horse. And here's a great resource that I'll spend more time looking further soon...American Tribes photos identified! I found Leon Pallardy there, another interpreter.
Incidentally, we just passed the anniversary of the Massacre at Wounded Knee. Did you ever see the movie Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman as the narrator?
And on the American Tribes link I found the same photo without being cut at the right side. The names and tribes are given for the men in it. (NOTE: This was taken at the same time, but some details show it's a different photo.)

Today's Quote:
Abandon surface impressions and patterns, abandon what has become
comfortable, and embrace the sacred depth of being that asks us to
enter that which is wholly unknown and that which fosters genuine
metanoia [a transformative change of heart]. The Holy Silence
creates an inner clearing that makes room for new life, including
living, breathing Silence. In this dimension
where time becomes space, life is enlivened.
ideas, emotions because they provide a semblance of light. When
light of the soul is blocked, we develop a desire for things, not for
Silence.
a creative purity that is startling, because we are accompanied by
the companion-presence: Love.
