A young Native American woman identified as Nellie Parr, a Walla Walla woman, sits in a room in front of a backdrop made of a plain blanket draped over a rack. On the walls behind and to the right hang a jumble of feathered headdresses, tomahawks, and other items; it appears she is in a photographer's studio. The woman wears beaded moccasins on her feet, which are resting on a small coiled cedar root mat. She wears leggings and a beaded buckskin dress, with beads in the fringe at calves, thighs, and arms. On her arms are metal bracelets, and around her neck are hung a number of necklaces including two that seem to be made of animal claws, long strings of beads, and a necklace with a medal. She wears a cornhusk basket hat with geometric designs and feathers on one side over her braided hair. She holds a bow and arrows with her right hand; the bottom of the bow rests on the mat. Her left hand is closed over the handle of a bag. Covering the object on which she sits is a blanket with bold geometric designs. A striped blanket can be seen tossed over something in the bottom right of the photograph., [Nellie Parr, Walla Walla woman, wearing beaded buckskin dress, leggings, moccasins, cornhusk hat, necklaces.

A Native American man sits astride a white horse at the edge of a creek or pond. In the background are deciduous trees and bushes. The man wears a horned headdress with fur or feathers on it, and beaded buckskin shirt and leggings or trousers, decorated with fringe, fur, or feathers. The shirt has strips of geometric beading and fringe along the shoulders and outside of the arms, and a circular medallion of the beading on the chest. The man's hair appears to hang loose behind him under the headdress. The horse wears a geometrically beaded martingale with feathers; its headband is outlined with larger beads with two clumps of grouped feathers. The horse blanket is also patterned and seems to be mostly pale with a dark border on the outside., [Luke Minthorn, in regalia, on horseback.
