Restoring. Princeton University's archival finding aid is not original research. It's a collection.
Very well. We can start listing specific places her photo appears instead of putting in a CN tag for that statement. Immaterial to me.

Pretty Nose (b. c. 1851) was an Arapaho woman who participated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn. She lived to be at least 101 years old and reportedly became a war chief.[1][2][3]

Biography

Pretty Nose was Arapaho, though in some sources she is referred to as Cheyenne.[4] She was identified as Arapaho on the basis of her red, black and white beaded cuffs.[1][A]

Pretty Nose took part in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 with a combined Cheyenne/Arapaho detachment.[5]

Pretty Nose's descendant, Mark Soldier Wolf, became an Arapaho tribal elder who served in the US Marine Corps during the Korean War. She witnessed his return to the Wind River Indian Reservation in 1952, at the age of 101. At the time he reported her wearing cuffs that he said indicated she was a war chief.[1]

Photographs

A photograph taken by Laton Alton Huffman c. 1880 shows Pretty Nose with a young woman named Spotted Fawn.[6] One source from the Montana Memory Project implies that they were sisters.[7] She appeared in several of silver prints by Huffman, and they are now part of the collection of the Princeton Library.[8] Her photo is featured on the cover of The Spirit of Indian Women (Judith Fitzgerald and Michael Oren Fitzgerald, eds.).[9]
