Chief Quanah Parker
Chief Joseph Quanah Parker of the Nez Perce, Wallowa Band as a young man. He succeeded his father as chief in 1871 and lead the Nez Perce when the U.S. government was trying to force the Nez Perce onto reservation land in Idaho. The struggle between Chief Joseph and the U.S. government lasted many years. He died in 1904 and is buried in the state of Washington.

Since he was born between 1840 and 1845 and he looks about 25 or so here, this photo was probably taken sometime around 1870.
Date & Place: in USA

This is a wonderful photo Katherine thanks for sharing!! I believe you might be confusing Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce with Chief Quanah Parker (who is shown above in this photo).

Chief Quanah Parker (who lived c 1850 - 1911) led the militarily powerful Native American Comanche tribe that dominated the Great Plains (Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma). Chief Quanah Parker was the last chief of the Comanche tribe who ended a four decade long war against European westward expansion. He was the Chief who led his tribe through a lifestyle transformation of farming and living on a reservation. Chief Quanah Parker's mother, Cynthia Ann Parker, was actually a European woman who was kidnapped at nine and integrated into the tribe.

There are some stunning photos of Chief Quanah Parker wearing both Native American and Western clothing. In this particular photo, Chief Quanah is holding a peyote feather fan.

I have just upgraded to Y-dna 111marker TEST kit no : #32 95 43 with own password on FTdna .com in US . They will show the result about 3 to 6 weeks from the date 06.15 - 2023 . Then I am able to discover who is related to me in the US . I am already related to Royal - Stewart : John Stewart 5th of Bonkyll . We share the same ancestor - R1b- M222 or R1b - S660 - J2a - J2a2c .

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
