Image
Full-length studio portrait of a Ho-Chunk family, including a man, woman, four girls, and a boy posing in front of a painted backdrop. The woman and older girls are wearing degrees of regalia, and the remaining individuals are wearing contemporary dress. The Whitebear family was referred to in the census rolls with the last name of White but they used the name Whitebear. From left to right are Ella Whitebear (MauNaPayWinKah), father Jim Whitebear (HoonchSkaKah), Dan Whitebear (HeNukKah), mother Kate Whitebear (MawChePauSayWinKah), and Daisy Whitebear (WeHunKah). Lucy Whitebear (HoDaHooKah) sits in front of Dan, and Viola Whitebear (UkSeUkKah) is sitting in front of Daisy.
