Description: A Native American woman, identified as Lou French of the Walla Walla trive, stands to the left of a tipi, with her left side towards the photographer. Her arms are at her side, her head turned up and to the left, her mouth seems to be open. She wears a hat shaped like a truncated cone, and her hair is in braids. She seems to be wearing a fringed leather dress with geometric beading on the top half, and moccasins with floral beading at the ankles. A metal bangle bracelet is visible at her wrist. Over her shoulders runs a striped band which is attached to the cradleboard she wears on her back. The cradleboard has a bold floral design, and a dark piece of cloth or blanket attached which acts as a hood for the baby. Only the baby's head is visible since the rest is engulfed in the bag of the cradleboard. The tipi a few yeards behind the woman seems to be covered with woven mats, and has several long poles on the outside as well as the inside framework. Leaning upright against it are several boards and branches. Close behind is a line of low trees or high bushes.

Tribal Notes: An outside photograph of a woman dressed in regalia with a child in a cradleboard on her back next to Tule mat tipi. She is wearing a beaded buckskin dress, cornhusk hat, woman's legging, and moccasins. The cradleboard has a floral design on the top of the child. They are standing in front of a three layer Tule mat tipi. There are boards that are learning on the tipi just behind the woman. Some of the Tules look to be damaged under the some of the boards. The tipi is next to some tall brush and trees.
