Second postcard of Meskwaki Indians from the early 1900s in Tama, Iowa. Comments helped me discover that these are "Real Photo" postcards from home camera negatives. This is Billy Jones [Billie on front, Billy on back]. He was a WWI veteran and did dances for the Green Corn Festivals for the Nation and visitors. He danced the Scalp Dance (later renamed the Victory Dance), the Eagle Dance, and others.
