Description
A group of three Native American women and a Native American man pose on horseback in front of a canvas tipi. Around the tipi are deciduous trees and shrubs with leaves; in the distance is a hill with scattered groves of trees or bushes. Two of the horses are white and two are dark. The man wears a broad-brimmed hat, cloth shirt and pants, a dark vest with a badge on it resembling the tribal police badges, a bandanna around his neck, and a choker necklace. His feet are in metal stirrups. He appears to have a gun or knife at his waist. The women all wear cloth scarves or sunbonnets which tie under their chins. They are all wearing cloth dresses with patterns: plaid, striped, floral. The woman in the middle has a blanket over her legs. The woman on the right is riding sidesaddle. The horse gear such as bridles is all plain leather without beading. Group of Umatilla. [Three women and a man on horseback by a canvas tipi. Man wears badge and may be part of Indian Police.]
