The U.S. Government allowed Native Americans to build halls to host tribal dances. When tribal members wanted to hold a dance, the Dance Hall Chief would seek permission from Federal agents. Dance Hall Chiefs would beat on a drum to communicate to tribal members the time of the dance. The city of Yankton, S.D., featured seven dance halls from the 1890s to 1934. Dance Halls served to preserve Native American cultural traditions. Notice the Presidential medallion hanging from Big Tobacco&#8217;s neck. President Rutherford B. Hayes issued the medallion, which was presented to Big Tobacco. Big Tobacco stands in front of his home, a U.S. Government-issued dwelling. The house is located next to the Hay Hall (Grass Dance Hall). This building was destroyed by a tornado several years after this photo was taken.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 150%;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/vintage_native_american_big_tobacco_playing_cards-256468179376152697?gl=GranniesAttic&amp;rf=238346027810244797\"> <img src=\"http:\/\/rlv.zcache.com\/vintage_native_american_big_tobacco_playing_cards-r65ceff6872b0415faf23cacfdb6232dd_fsvjh_325.jpg?rlvnet=1\" alt=\"Vintage Native American Big Tobacco Playing Cards\" style=\"border: 0;\" \/> <\/a> <br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/vintage_native_american_big_tobacco_playing_cards-256468179376152697?gl=GranniesAttic&amp;rf=238346027810244797\">Vintage Native American Big Tobacco Playing Cards<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/granniesattic*\">GranniesAttic<\/a> <br \/> Browse other <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/keepsake+playingcards?rf=238346027810244797\">Keepsake Playing Cards<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 10px;\">  <a href=\"http:\/\/posterous.com\">Posted via email<\/a>   from <a href=\"http:\/\/zazzle.posterous.com\/vintage-native-american-big-tobacco-playing-c\">The Best of Zazzle<\/a>  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p align=\"left\"><a class=\"tt\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home\/?status=Vintage+Native+American+Big+Tobacco+Playing+Cards+\" title=\"Post to Twitter\"><img class=\"nothumb\" src=\"http:\/\/cafeshoppe.com\/TeeHee\/wp-content\/plugins\/tweet-this\/icons\/tt-twitter-big1.png\" alt=\"[Post to Twitter]\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"tt\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home\/?status=Vintage+Native+American+Big+Tobacco+Playing+Cards+\" title=\"Post to Twitter\">Tweet This Post<\/a>&nbsp; <!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vintage Native American Big Tobacco Playing Cards Native American Historical Photo Big Tobacco, a Dance Hall Chief, circa 1900.
