Quite plausibleIt's a nasty thought that - they scalped the men, beaver-scalped the girls?

They are enemy women, captured in raids, who are tied down and secured as properthy, when the party stops to camp, stretched out as a prizes from their loot, while they are taken back to the tribe's settlement, to serve as naked slaves. Stripped naked when captured, as clothing is a signifier of respect which is not appropriate to their status as women of a defeated enemy, they are shaved and kept smooth and hairless, so naked, they also serve as neatly kept trophies, in their new roles as slaves.

And why isn't the original picture in my possession? Maybe because I didn't have $12,000 left at the moment.
Interesting story. So by her account, she was captured and made the "property" of Chief Ottawa (the fellow my home town here is named after), and then cleverly tricked another fellow to take a letter to the US army fort that led to her release. She claimed never to have suffered any "unchaste" insult from the Sioux. Another account suggests that she was "docile" (possibly a sub?) and was given as a wife to another chief and he was so pleased with her that Sitting Bull himself had to take her away from him and escort her to the fort himself (likely to avoid reprisals). I wonder which of those stories is true.
