Description
A Native American man, identified as Chief Red Hawk of the Cayuse Tribe, is seated in front of a solid colored blanket that is suspended like a backdrop. The man is wearing a cloth shirt and has a Pendleton blanket wrapped around his body from the chest down. He has long hair, some of which is tied in a scarf that drapes over his shoulder. He is wearing a beaded choker and beaded bracelets. In his lap, one hand is holding a bow and two arrows and a pipe with a long, flat, wooden handle. His other hand is holding up a war club, which is adorned with feathers. A cowboy hat with a braided or twisted scarf hat band is hung on the backdrop. The image appears to be an outside photograph, as there is some vegetation visible in the bottom corners. Chief Red Hawk, Cayuse Tribe [George Red Hawk, Cayuse man, in Moorhouse yard/studio. He is wrapped in a blanket and holds a stone tomahawk, pipe, bow and arrows.]
