Pretty Nose

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

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.

Photographs A photograph taken by Laton Alton Huffman shows Pretty Nose with a young woman named Spotted Fawn. One source from the Montana Memory Project implies that they were sisters. She appears in several silver prints by Huffman, which are now held in the collection of the Princeton Library. Her photo is featured on the cover of The Spirit of Indian Women magazine.
