A Native American man, identified as Dr. Whirl-wind (Charley Whirlwind, Sr.) of the Cayuse Tribe, is mounted on a horse. The man is wearing buckskin pants and shirt and moccasins. The shirt is decorated with feathers and beadwork on the front and sleeves. He is wearing a headdress with a full crown of feathers and strips of fur hanging down around his shoulders. He has a large beaded choker. The horse is solid brown in color and has a saddle, saddle blanket and bridle. On the ground in front of the horse is a dog with long, fluffy white hair. The man, horse, and dog are on a slope on the side of a mountain. Around them are some other slopes and some stands of pine trees. The top of the mountain is in the background.
