Red Shirt, Dakota Sioux, from the American Indian Chiefs series (N2) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands 1888

This chromolithograph, part of the "American Indian Chiefs" series, was produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888 to be included in cigarette packs. The card depicts Red Shirt, a Dakota Sioux chief, with a close-up portrait showing him wearing a red shirt and a beaded necklace. These cards were widely popular and offered a glimpse into Native American culture, but it is important to consider the context of their creation and the potential biases embedded within them.
