Description
Four Native American men and a Native American woman stand in front of three tipis. The people are identified as Dr. Whirlwind, Ta-wa-Toi, Mrs. No-shirt, Chief No-shirt, and Red Elk. The men all wear horned headdresses with ermine hanging from them, and trails of eagle feathers, except for Ta-wa-Toi, who does not seem to have the trail of feathers. The men wear a mix of cloth or buckskin shirts and legwear. Some of the men seem to have blankets wrapped around their legs. All the men wear moccasins and jewelry, including loop necklaces. In their right hands Dr. Whirlwind and Red Elk each hold a staff with eagle feathers attached. Red Elk has a long beaded and furred belt, decorated with medals or buttons, draped over his left arm. Ta-wa-Toi is holding the fur of an animal in front of himself; the pelt includes the fur from the animal's tail, legs, and head. Chief No-shirt seems to be holding up some weaving. Mrs. No-shirt stands next to him. Her dark hair in braids; she is draped in a geometrically-beaded skin and seems to be wearing a fringed buckskin dress and a bracelet. She too wears moccasins. She holds a geometrically-beaded flat bag in front of herself. The caption on the photograph says "Umatilla Reservation July 4, 1903".
