Tribal Notes
An outside photograph of two canvas tipis. This campsite is in a small draw in a small open in the cottonwood trees. The first tipi is a long tent (?) it is showing the back of it and the door looks to be facing the creek. The second one is a small tipi next to the brush and trees. In front of the long tent is a big pile of wood. Behind it is a wagon and unidentified object. Up the creek a few yards is a horse tied up to a small tree. In the background is open hillside with clouds in the sky. Looking at the trees it looks to be in the spring time. Writing on the photograph is "Tom Lu's Camp Umatilla Reservation Maj. Moorhouse."
