They are standing on a wool blanket which is behind and next to the tipi. The tipi has Tule mats and canvas. Mixed behind the women are rocks that are holding down the canvas. To the right of the women the Tule mat is broken and falling apart. Writing on the photograph is written in between the two women running up and down "Cayuse Squaws" and "Major Moorhouse."
