Blackfoot Chief, Stabbed-by-Nustah. No matter how brave a man might have been, or how successful in war, he could not hope to be the chief either of a band or of the tribe, unless he was kind-hearted, and willing to share his prosperity with the poor. For this reason, a chief was never a wealthy man, for what he acquired with one hand he gave away with the other. Vintage image restored by Kathy Weiser-Alexander.
