Description
Uniform of the Rosebud Sioux Indian Police, 1890s. The coat is the U. S. Army 1876 enlisted man's 5-button undress blouse, or sack coat, 30" overall length. This coat is distinguished not only by its condition but also by its full complement of 7/8" front placket and 5/8" sleeve "U.S. Indian Service" buttons. Around the waist is a 32½" belt with "Police" buckle. The black leather belt is marked with stylized initials "F. F."The rare and remarkable star badge, 3¼" high, is stamped "U.S./Indian Police/Rosebud Agency/S.D." with badge number "27" in the center. The six-pointed star is missing the bulbs on five of the six tips.
The Rosebud Reservation was established after Congress partitioned the Great Sioux Reservation into five distinct and separately governed entities in 1889, at almost exactly the same time as the States of South and North Dakota were established in law. This unique and important uniform set dates from sometime soon after 1890.
From the Glenwood Swanson Collection.
