Scope and Contents:
The collection consists of a volume, now disbound, of twenty-nine (29) drawings by Daniel Little Chief together with thirty-four (34) pages of typescript pages explanatory notes by Albert Gatschet. The volume also includes an identifying title page handwritten by Albert Gatschet and one drawing on ruled paper by an unidentified Cheyenne artist. The explanatory text was transcribed from Gatschet's notebook, also in the collection, with corrections by Gatschet. The collection also contains a drawing which was found in Gatschet's notebook which does not appear to be directly associated with the works by Daniel Littlechief. Subjects of the drawings include ceremonial items, name glyphs, painted tipis, and illustrations of Cheyenne customs.

Please note that the contents of the collection and the language and terminology used reflect the context and culture of the time of its creation. As an historical document, its contents may be at odds with contemporary views and terminology and considered offensive today. The information within this collection does not reflect the views of the Smithsonian Institution or National Anthropological Archives, but is available in its original form to facilitate research.
Biographical Note:
Daniel Little Chief, also known as Daniel Littlechief and Wuxpais, (?-1906) was a Northern Cheyenne warrior whose band of Cheyenne were sent south to the Cheyenne-Arapaho Reservation in Indian Territory after their surrender, traveling there between 1878-1879. In 1881 this band moved north to the Pine Ridge Agency in South Dakota. In 1891 Daniel Little Chief inherited the role of head chief from his father and remained in South Dakota until his death in 1906.
Albert S. Gatschet (1832-1907) was educated in his native Switzerland (University of Bern, Ph.D., 1892) and in Germany (University of Berlin). Early in his career, he pursued antiquarian research in European museums and wrote scientific articles. Among his interests was the etymology of Swiss place names. After coming to the United States in 1869, he worked on the American Indian vocabularies collected by Oscar Loew, of the United States Geological Survey West of the 100th Meridian (Wheeler Survey). Eventually John Wesley Powell employed him as an ethnologist with the United States Geographical and Geological Survey of the Rocky Mountain Regions. He joined the staff of the Bureau of American Ethnology at its founding in 1879, and continued there until he retired in 1905. For the Powell Survey, Gatschet researched the ethnography of the Klamath in Oregon and the Modoc in Oklahoma. He also collected Native American material objects and investigated special problems for Powell's classification of the American Indian languages north of Mexico, working on languages of the Southeast, including groups forcibly settled in the southern Plains. He not only visited well-known tribes, but also searched out small groups, including the Biloxi and Tunica. He also worked with the Natchez, Tonkawa, Chitimacha, and Atakapa in the United States and Comecrudo and several other small groups in northern Mexico. Through library research, he studied the Timucua, Karankara, and the Beothuk. During the later part of his career, Gatschet was assigned comparative work on all the Algonquian languages. Although the project was never completed, he collected much about many of the languages, especially Peoria, Miami, and Shawnee. In addition, he worked with members of diverse tribes of the eastern United States.
Variant Title:
Crayon Pictures of Cheyenne Ceremonial Customs and Implements. Drawn by Wuxpais or Daniel Littlechief, son of the present headchief of the Cheyenne Indians of South Dakota, at the Pine Ridge Agency. Explained by notes obtained from the same Indian by Albert S. Gatschet.
Conservation Note:
In 1994 the volume was disbound in order to be photographed and because the binding structure was causing damage to the drawings. A full conservation report is available in the NAA files.
Related Materials:
A nearly identical set of drawings by Daniel Little Chief is located held by The Newberry Library in Chicago, see [Cheyenne Ledger Book, Crayon pictures of Cheyenne ceremonial customs and implements by Wuxpais].

General:
Behind a green wall of Nellie R. Stevens holly and Little Gem magnolias, an Italian Renaissance style villa and garden exists on one acre. The owners wanted to build a "forever" home and garden for themselves, children, and grandchildren. The garden incorporates a series of outdoor rooms in the European manner. Rectangular lead planters with formally clipped boxwood frame the wide entry steps to the house. A terrace of four colors of sandstone forms a three-dimensional effect as an approach to a porch. The core feature of this Italian Renaissance style garden, an allée of standard Natchez crepe myrtle and a linear parterre of clipped boxwood with Italian terra-cotta olive jars lies along its main axis. On the west side of the house, one enters a series of three different outdoor rooms connected by open iron gates. The first is centered by an oval parterre and a wall of espaliered pears and magnolias trained into an arch. The second outdoor room is a terrace of French limestone and a rectangular mosaic pool. The third room is an allée of Savannah hollies leading to the garden house. The formal back garden is centered by an allée of crepe myrtle joining the veranda to the magnolia-lined room, filled by the celadon mosaic swimming pool and cherub fountain. Off the central axis to the west, one walks down three grass steps to a sunken garden with bay laurel trees. The east sunken garden mirrors the west in symmetry, but has a thick lawn of fescue grass. The back garden to the east of the pool is a sun-filled parterre of boxwood for summer vegetables, herbs, and flowers. A surrounding circle of ten-foot tall iron pillars hosts repeat blooming white Sombreuil roses trained into swags by chains connecting the pillars. An allée of East Palatka holly exists on the east side of the property with crushed stone walkway.
People associated with this property include: Richard Robertson (architect, 1995-2000); and Paul Fields, ASLA of Lambert Landscape Company (landscape architect, 2000-2007).

General:
This property's full gardens have graced Tyler, Texas since 1950. With the private home and gardens situated on Tyler's renowned Azalea and Spring Flower Trail, the gardens provide a city showcase - especially due to the abundance of brilliant daffodils. The azaleas, other spring blooms and towering trees draw visitors to the landscape throughout springtime. Seasonal plantings are enjoyed during the summer, fall and winter months.
Major tree plantings include Shumard Red Oaks, Water Oaks, Green Maples, Crepe Myrtles (Natchez) and Dogwoods. Wintergreen Boxwoods and American Holly provide hedge borders, while a variety of vines - including Fig Ivy, English Ivy and Trumpet Vine - supply other planting dimensions.
The backyard pool is surrounded by topiaries accented by wrought iron furniture. Sculptures include a stone St. Francis and a royal metal frog with a crown. Other features include fern baskets, arbors and brick walkways.
Persons associated with the garden include Naud Burnett (landscape architect, 1955); Noel Pullam (landscape architect, 1975); Selena Short (landscape designer, 2000s- ); Johnny & John Carter (masonry, 2016).

Scope and Contents:
29 drawings and 34 pages of typed explanatory text, formerly bound together, now disbound, plus an identifying title page handwritten by Albert Gatschet and one drawing on ruled paper. The explanatory text was transcribed from Gatschet's notebook, No. 2016-b, with corrections by Gatschet. T.p. inscribed: "Crayon Pictures of Cheyenne Ceremonial Customs and Implements. Drawn by Wuxpais or Daniel Littlechief, son of the present headchief of the Cheyenne Indians of South Dakota, at the Pine Ridge Agency. Explained by notes obtained from the same Indian by Albert S. Gatschet." The last drawing in the volume is signed "T.D. Little Chief," but cannot be identified as a drawing by Daniel Little Chief. Subjects include ceremonial items, name glyphs, painted tipis, and illustrations of Cheyenne customs. A nearly identical set of drawings by Daniel Little Chief is located at the Newberry Library in Chicago. Information provided by Candace Greene.
Biographical / Historical:
Daniel Little Chief, a.k.a. Wuxpais (?-1906), was a Northern Cheyenne warrior whose band of Cheyenne were sent south to the Cheyenne-Arapaho Reservation in Indian Territory after their surrender, traveling there between 1878-1879. In 1881 this band moved north to the Pine Ridge Agency in South Dakota. In 1891 Daniel Littlechief inherited the role of head chief from his father and remained in South Dakota until his death in 1906. For more information see "American Indian Painters: A Biographical Dictionary" by Jeanne Snodgrass 1968, New York: Museum of the American Indian.
Albert S. Gatschet (1832-1907) was educated in his native Switzerland and in Germany (University of Bern [Ph.D., 1892]); University of Berlin. Early in his career, he pursued antiquarian research in European museums and wrote scientific articles. Among his interests was the etymology of Swiss place names. After coming to the United States in 1869, he worked on the American Indian vocabularies collected by Oscar Loew, of the United States Geological Survey West of the 100th Meridian (Wheeler Survey). Eventually John Wesley Powell employed him as an ethnologist with the United States Geographical and Geological Survey of the Rocky Mountain Regions. When it was founded in 1879, he joined the staff of the Bureau of American Ethnology and continued there until he retired in 1905. For the Powell Survey, Gatschet researched the ethnography of the Klamath in Oregon and the Modoc in Oklahoma. He also collected Native American material objects and investigated special problems for Powell's classification of the American Indian languages north of Mexico, working on languages of the Southeast, including groups forcibly settled in the southern Plains. He not only visited well known tribes but also searched out small groups, including the Biloxi and Tunica. He also worked with the Natchez, Tonkawa, Chitimacha, and Atakapa in the United States and Comecrudo and several other small groups in northern Mexico. Through library research, he studied the Timucua, Karankara, and the Beothuk. During the later part of his career, Gatschet was assigned comparative work on all the Algonquian languages. Although the project was never completed, he collected much about many of the languages, especially Peoria, Miami, and Shawnee. In addition, he worked with members of diverse tribes of the eastern United States. For more information, see NAA finding aid located at http://www.nmnh.si.edu/naa/guide/_g1.htm#jrg575
