APPRAISER: What do you know about Usher# Burdick's relationship t GUEST: I think he knew Barry in some way.

APPRAISER: Well, these photographs are by# D.F.

Barry, who was of Native Americans.

He traveled a lot in# this region, living with Native Americans,## living with the Lakota, who actually# called him "The Little Shadow Catcher."

GUEST: (laughing): Wow.

and because of that was able to photograph very# well-known and very important leaders of these different groups and tribes.

In addition# to photographing Native American leaders,## he photographed United States military# leaders.

The entire 19th century, really,## there was a lot of conflict between# the Native people and the United States## military who were really trying to expand# the territory that they could control.

The## Native Americans who we see in these different# photographs were involved in leading their own## people and resisting the military, but also in# transitioning their people to reservation life.

GUEST: Okay.

GUEST: Wow.

APPRAISER: This figure## the most famous leaders and one of the people# who Barry's most associated with photo GUEST: Oh.

APPRAISER: Barry recorded stories from## these figures and Usher Burdick felt t in North Dakota.

He served in state politics, he# served in Congress, and he took the stories that## Barry recorded and made sure that they stayed a# part of the historical record.

The photographs## here were probably printed in the early 20th# century.

This photograph is actually signed.# At auction I would estimate this group# of photographs between $2,000 and $3,000.

GUEST: Wow.

Okay.

Wow.

(laughing): That's amazing.
