Rob, when I checked-out your link to view the original B&W capture, I've read in the summary: "Photograph shows a Fish Hawk, an American Indian man,....Indians of North America...".
I don't know if this name is still used today, because I read in many descriptions 'Native Americans' instead of 'Indians'.
If my assumption is correct, a parallel can be drawn with the 'Eskimo's. These seem no longer to be called so, but 'Inuit'. Please check-out this link and this link for some clarification.
What's in a name however? More important is that, by your always perfect way of colorization, you've enhanced the characteristic appearance (with his personality) of this person. Although the original capture is taken more than a century ago, it has the appearance of a nowadays taken portrait, thanks you to your great skills in that matter.
Perfectly done again, my friend.
