Cheyenne village

This 1853 daguerreotype, potentially the oldest known photograph of a Native American camp in Indian Territory, captures a Cheyenne village at Big Timbers, present-day Colorado, showcasing four large tipis near a wooded area with pemmican or hides hanging to the right and two figures standing to the left of center, likely taken during the Fremont Expedition.
