Young Indian male in native dress (bare-chested, wearing feathered headdress, woolen leggings, hair in long braids) is seated in front of a display of woolen blankets. In his left hand he holds a long pipe with perhaps a beaded bag hanging down from it. In his right hand he holds an implement of some kind, perhaps with ceremonial significance. At his feet, there is a quiver of arrows.
A corner area of an interior room is covered with a net, from which is strung an assortment of Native American artifacts and decorations. There are baskets in many shapes and sizes; bags, woven and beaded; necklaces of beads or shells; antlers; some beadwork and leatherwork; woven mats and wall hangings; bow and arrows; two quivers with fringe; a pistol; a rope; drums; a miniature of a canoe decorated with a floral design; some portraits, one drawn in charcoal and several photographs; a carved wooden spoon; and other assorted objects. The interior of the room that is visible is wallpaper on the ceiling and upper wall area, a bench with cusions, and some ornate picture frames to the left and right of the display of goods.
An outside photograph of two Native American men, one of whom appears to be bare-chested, attired with Pendleton blankets wrapped around their waists, posing on the bank of a river in the wintertime. Both men have their hair in braids with a feather attached. Each man is aiming a bow and arrow at the other. The photographer has identified the man on the left side of the photograph as Tilloquats; he is holding his bow in his left hand and one arrow, fitted into the bow, in his right hand. Hanging off his right arm is a whip. The photographer has identified the other man as Yee-Yee, and he is holding his bow in his left hand--fitting the arrow into his bow with his right. On his back he has a quiver with hawk feathers. Behind the men is the river, running the width of the photograph. In the background lies the rising riverbank, leading to the hillside. There are leafless cottonwood trees on the other side of the river and patches of snow on the ground.
