A balck-and-white photograph of three men. The inscription at the bottom in white ink reads Yakima Chief Saponowox and sons. No. 354. Moorhouse. Chief Saponowox sits between the two younger men, who are standing. The chief wears a broad-brimmed felt hat with a feather standing upright at the front of the hatband. More feathers hang down from the back of the hat. His arms are crossed on his lap; with his right hand he holds a feather up to the left side of his face. His long unbound hair hangs over his chest. He is wearing a white cloth under-shirt and appears to also be wearing a dark one; over all is a dark cloth shirt or jacket. What looks like a rabbit's foot hangs from a thong around his neck. His legs are covered by a patterned blanket but he appears to be wearing pants or leggings and to be barefoot or just wearing socks. The man on the left of the photo wears a furred and feathered hat. His long unbound hair hangs nearly to his waist. He appears to be wearing a choker of white beads or shells around his neck. A short bandoleer which appears to have the furry paw of a small animal attached, and a necklace with ermine and other ornaments, are hung over his dark cloth smock-like shirt, which has a lighter pattern in it which resembles snowflakes. It looks as though his left arm is missing, but it may be behind his back; in his right hand he holds at waist-level a stick from which eagle feathers depend. His cloth leggings are partly obscured by an apron of fringed tartan which hangs from below his smock to halfway below his knees. He appears to be wearing moccasins or dark socks. The man on the right has his hair pulled back from his forehead. He stands with his arms crossed underneath a long feather stole. White feathers hang from the end of the stole. Eagle feathers frame his face, and he has a large eagle feather tucked under his left arm. He wears a striped shirt and has a patterned blanket falling from his waist to the ground, hiding his legs and feet. The men appear to be standing on a carpet which has been covered with straw or some typed of dried vegetation.
A black-and-white photograph of a Native American man, identified as Alexander, Yakima Indian. He is sitting on a blanket-covered object on a carpet strewn with straw. Behind him on the left is a light-colored broad-brimmed felt hat with a feather in the hatband. His hair is pulled back from his face on the top of his head, and hangs down in two pigtails on his chest which are wrapped with dark fur hairwraps. A small amount of hair on each side is threaded through quills and beads and hangs separately. He wears disk earrings and a beaded choker. His heavy dark cloth shirt has two buttons on the placket, which only extends halfway down the shirt. There is a button on each cuff as well. Above his elbows he wears wide beaded armbands with geometric designs. His light-colored leggings have designs in brass tacks below the knees, and insets of woven material with geometric designs which run the length of the front. Fringes, ermines, and braids hang off them. His moccasins are beaded with a floral pattern. His hands on his lap hold a hatchet-style pipe which has a triangular woven and fringed decoration on the end. Small bells hang amongst the fringe, which is so long that a half of it rests on the floor. Around his waist he wears a woven or beaded belt with squares of color. From it hangs a split leather belt with brass tacks, which forms two loops.
