English: Miniconjou chief Spotted Elk (aka. Bigfoot) lies dead in the snow after massacre at Wounded Knee. Dead Bigfoot Lakotas leader Spotted Elk, (called by soldiers Bigfoot), after the massacre of Wounded Knee (photo of January 1, 1891). Carl Smith described him as January 7, 1891 in the "Chicago Inter-Ocean ': Big Foot lay as if in dignified seclusion ... Clad in civilian clothes decent, his head wrapped in a shawl. He wore a woolen underwear and pointed to the overall look of someone fairly well cared. He had several gunshot wounds, and if he could realize what hurt him, the signs have quite disappeared. Itinerant photographer propped the old man, and when he lay helpless, his portrait done ... But he spared the usual treatment for a nice appearance.
