Biographical / Historical
Dr. Z.T. Daniel was a career physician in the Indian Service. At the time of this donation he was the agency physician at Pine Ridge Reservation. He also served at the Cheyenne River Reservation and the Blackfoot Reservation, and made many donations to the Smithsonian over a period of years, most accompanied with detailed information regarding the origins of the objects. His name is frequently misspelled in museum records as Daniels.

Custodial History
Received from Dr. Z.T. Daniel in 1893 (no accession record found) and originally cataloged in artifact collection as Sioux, based on place of origin. See also Ms. 166,930. Pine Ridge was established as a reservation for the Lakota but a group of Northern Cheyenne were also resident there from 1881 to October 1891. The name of the presumed artist Nacoista appears to be Cheyenne.
