Newly colorized photos show the impact of the western settlers on Native Americans and the consequent upheaval of hundreds of indigenous tribes.
The poignant images, taken by photographer John C.H. Grabill between 1887 and 1892, show the early days of Euro-Americans as they move to South Dakota and Wyoming and how this affected the area s indigenous communities.
In one photograph, three Cheyenne men wearing ceremonial clothing and holding a rifle greet a settler who was wearing a suit and accompanied by his interpreter.
Another image showed a group of Euro-American men and Lakota men, who belonged to either the Brule, Miniconjou or Oglala subtribes, posing in front of a tipi. This photo captured the moment U.S officials and Native American chiefs came together for a moment of peace.
