An outside photograph of a Native American man who has been identified as Ed Chapman; he is kneeling on the ground in front of a sweathouse. The sweathouse is dug into the ground, so that the only thing visible is the door opening. The opening is framed with wood poles or sticks; there is a Pendleton blanket, folded on top of the sweathouse that partly covers the opening. The man looks as if he is ready to enter the sweathouse. His hair is loose, and he wears no shirt. He has a Pendleton Blanket wrapped around his waist. There are two rocks on the ground in the foreground. In the background are the bare branches of trees and brush., Ed Chapman, ready for the bath. [Tribal man kneeling by sweat house.]
An outside photograph of two Native American men standing in a campsite. Both men are wrapped in what have been identified as Pendleton blankets. There are three tipis in the campsite. The tipi farthest back shows a darkened canvas. The middle tipi has smoke coming out of it; it is composed from layered tuli mats and canvas. There are rough-hewn poles lying on the outside of both tipis, as well as internal frame poles that extrude from the top. The third tipi -- on the photograph's right side -- is made entirely of canvas and shows no external poles. There is an opening in the top for smoke to escape; the top has been noticeably darkened from the smoke. Behind the three tipis lies a dark, unidentified, man-made structure; it is surrounded by brush and appears to have a ladder either leaning against it or sticking through an opening. Both men are wearing hats; one man appears to be walking away from the tipis while the other is leaning against what has been identified as an oar. Behind the man with the oar is a tipi opening; there is a tule mat covering the doorway and miscellaneous articles lying on the ground. There are two dogs in the campsite. In the surrounding area are cottonwood trees and pine trees. The cottonwood trees are leafless and there may be patches of snow on the ground. All around the campsite are shrubs, and a gently rising hillside can be seen in the background.
An outside photograph of a Native American man posing in regalia in front of a tule mat tipi. The man has been identified as Joe Bennett. His hair is braided and he is wearing a headband of bear claws with a single eagle feather on the right side of his head. He wears a choker around his neck and a loop necklace that hangs over his shirt. He is dressed in a buckskin coat with decorative fringe around his shoulders, collar and side seams. He is carrying two coyote pelts over his right arm, and in his left hand is a hatchet-style pipe that has feathers attached to the stem. At his waist is a belt that may be made of fur or animal hide; on the belt is a beaded scabbard with a square, wooden knife handle visible from the scabbard opening. Under his jacket is a Pendleton blanket that covers his legs down to his moccasins. In the background is a tule mat tipi; there is a cloth or canvas doorway behind the man. There are two poles--one on each side of the doorway--leaning against the tipi to hold down the mats. A large pole or wood log is lying on the ground against the tipi.
An outside photograph of two men: one is a Euro-American and the other a Native American. Both men are standing in front of a multi-layered tule mat tipi. The photographer has identified the Native American man as Poker Jim. He is wearing a cowboy hat and is wrapped in a Pendleton blanket that reaches his ankles. He is holding the reins of a barebacked horse. The Euro-American is wearing a suit and overcoat and has both hands in his coat pockets. He also is wearing a derby hat. There are six visible external poles leaning against the tipi, presumably to hold down the woven mats. To the men's right, leaning against the tipi, is a homemade ladder that appears to be made of similar poles. The background shows a hint of hillside, along with cottonwood trees and a lone pine tree. At the base of the pine tree is a stack of firewood.
An outside photograph of a Native American man and young girl standing in front of a tule mat tipi in the snow in winter. The man has been identified as Paul Showaway. He is wearing a shirt over which is wrapped a Pendleton blanket which extends to the ground. He is also wearing a choker and a fur bandoleer. Hanging from the bandoleer are decorative materials, identified as ermines and hair. The young girl is wearing a wingdress with a decorative belt. She has her hair braided and is wearing three loop necklaces. She is standing to the man's right side and is holding a cornhusk bag in her right hand. The tipi has several tule mats wrapped and layered over inner poles. There is a door behind the man, made from canvas and a blanket. Leaning against the tipi are three tall, rough-hewn poles, a short cottonwood log, and a homemade ladder. There is a blanket hanging outside to the right of the tipi. In the background are deciduous trees and a telephone pole., Paul Showoway and daughter, Thorn Hollow. [Cayuse man and girl (about 8?) standing by tipi in snow, wearing traditional clothing.

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.
