I
don´t have any evidence,who this man was. But there
were several Plenty Holes at Pine Ridge Reservation, so I
suggest he could be Oglala. An Oglala Plenty Holes was born
in 1876 and married in 1894; I think that age fits the man
in the photograph, possibly taken by Herman Heyn around 1899.

Plenty Holes was also known as (?) Wasun Ota. He
