A Native American man identified as "Young Chief" stands in profile, facing left, next to a dark-colored horse, in front of three tipis. Behind the tipis are trees with leaves on them. The horse wears a martingale with geometric beading, a saddle, and a beaded bridle. There seems to be a fringed rifle scabbard in front of the saddle, and a staff with feathers thrust into the ground between the horse and man. The man wears a single trail bonnet with ermine which seems to be slightly longer than he is tall. His dark hair hangs down in front in two braids. He wears a light-colored cloth shirt, the rounded tails of which hang below a short vest, and leggings. His left hand supports the base of a handle of a tomahawk, and a fur bandoleer. His right hand grips the top of the blade of the axe. Horse and man are facing into the sun; their shadows stretch behind them to the right of the photograph. A figure can be dimly seen through the triangular door of the tipi in the background., Young Chief—Cayuse Tribe [Young Chief, Cayuse man, in eagle bonnet with weapons. Horse has martingale and forelock decoration. Probably at July Circle.]
An outside photograph of a Native American man who has been identified as Uma-Som-Kin. He is standing with a horse and dog to his left, and a tipi behind him. His hair is in braids with hair ornaments or ties attached to their ends and he is wearing a cowboy hat. He is dressed in a shirt, and over that a coat made out of a Pendleton Blanket. In his right hand he is holding a rifle, and in his left hand both a hand drum and horse reins. He is wearing either calf-high boots or moccasins. The horse or pony has a spotted coat; it is bareback with what appears to be a leather halter. The dog is between the horse and man. It also has a mottled or spotted coat, with uncropped ears and unknown breed heritage. The tipi is made of canvas layers. There is a cloth or canvas doorway directly behind the man; on the back of the tipi leans a broken tule mat. There are small wooden poles and various pieces of wood also leaning against the tipi's exterior. In the background are bushes and deciduous trees, perhaps cottonwood trees, leading to the hillside.
An outside photograph of a Native American man, who has been identified as Uma-Som-Kin. He is dressed in full native regalia, and sitting on a horse that is standing next to a river's edge. For his headdress, the man is wearing a bonnet with a single trail of eagle feathers. He is wearing a coat made out of a Pendleton blanket. He is wearing leggings that exhibit a geometrical design on the cuff--perhaps beaded--and beaded moccasins. Because no stirrups can be seen, it would appear that he is riding either bareback or using a blanket for his saddle. He is holding the horse's bridle in his left hand. The horse or pony has a spotted coat. The river disappears around a bend, blending into the hillside in the background. The terrain around the river shows rocks, grass, dirt and brush. On the river's opposite bank is a fence line that runs along the river's path. In the far background is an expanse of rolling hills.
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. He wears buckskin and rib or horn headdress; horse has martingale and forelock decoration.]
