THE WAY IT WAS

This photo was taken in the early 1900s at Three-Mile-Creek at the Giago allotment on the Pine Ridge Reservation near Kyle. The girl on the left is Lucy Giago (she later married Tom Vocu) and the girl seated holding the handmade doll is Annie Giago. She married Earl Ferguson. The lady on the right is the mother of Tim Giago Sr., Lucy, Annie, Grace Giago Garnett, and Joe Giago. She is newspaper publisher Tim Giago’s grandmother. Her name is Sophie Giago and she is the matriarch of the Giago family. Notice the beautiful quillwork on the dresses of the ladies.
