Tribal Notes: An outside photograph of an unidentified man in regalia in front of a blanket backdrop. He is wearing an unidentified headdress, necklace, hairbone and bandoleer which is worn wrong. He has it as a necklace when it should be worn around over one of his shoulders. He is wearing an old style bustle that is not put together right. The two spikes, which are the longest ones that are hanging down, should be in an upright position. He is standing on a coiled cedar mat that is in front of a blanket backdrop that is tacked up to a wooden frame. In the left side of the photograph is a wooden walkway and trees in the background.
