Cultural Narrative: 

Monuments erected at the c'aynim 'alikinwaaspa (Bear Paw Mountain battlefield) on September 30, 1929, and in 1932. McWhorter visited this site multiple times, first in 1927 when, along with hímiin maqsmáqs (Yellow Wolf), the battlefield was first staked. In 1932, when this photograph was taken, McWhorter returned to replace stakes that were missing due to weather and erosion. On verso of the photograph: "The Bear Paw battlefield monuments, the left erected September 30, 1929, the one at right in 1932. Photo Nov 24th 1932 by Emil Kopac Oshkosh Neb."
