Scope and Content
From the Collection:
This collection contains photographs taken by Carol Sullivan, an anthropologist, who did extensive research on the American Indian Movement (AIM), especially the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee, at Pine Ridge, South Dakota. The collection contains photos of the occupation, fighting between federal agents and Indians, Onondaga Indians leaving Wounded Knee, and a federal informant. Russell Means, Leonard Crow Dog, Dennis Banks, Billy Lazore, Tom Bad Cob, and Black Elk are among the prominent American Indian Movement figures represented in this collection. The Wounded Knee Trading Post and church are also depicted.
An addition to the collection, processed in 2017 contains photographs relating to Wounded Knee; S. Dakota; Mexico (Chiapas, Zapatistas, Day of the Dead). The name of the collection was changed from "Carol Sullivan Wounded Knee Photograph Collection" to "Carol Sullivan Pictorial Collection" in 2017. The unprocessed 2018 addition includes sketches by Carol Sullivan and others primarily from her work in Central and South America. Some of the material was prepared for an undated exhibit in Albuquerque, along with undated exhibit material. An unprocessed 2024 addition includes artwork and photographs and other materials by Carol Sullivan, some pertaining to her work in the Middle East and some prepared for exhibits. The 2024 material is shelved in an oversize box, labeled Box 4.
