"Unity Through Diversity" with William "Billy" Mervin Mills, Oglala Sioux, captured for the first time in the historic wet plate collodion process of silver on glass. Billy is the 1964 Gold Medal Winner of the 10,000 metres in Tokyo, Japan. He broke the Olympic Record with a time of 28:24.4! These plates were taken as part of my series "Northern Plains Native Americans: A Modern Wet Plate Perspective".
