Tribal Notes
An outside photograph of a man and a young girl standing in front of a Tule Mat Tipi in the snow in the winter. He has been identified as Paul Showaway. He is wrapped in a Pendleton Blanket and he is wearing a Fur Bandoleer with hair and ermines hanging from the bandoleer. In his left hand he is holding what looks like a hawk tail fan; he was moving when the photograph was taken, so it is a blur. The unidentified girl is dressed in a Wingdress. She is holding a cornhusk bag and she is standing next to the right of the man. The Tule Mat Tipi has a number of mats wrapped around the poles. The door is just behind the man and it is made of canvas and blanket. On the left side of the door there are three poles and a Cottonwood log leaning on the tipi. On the other side is a homemade ladder going up about three-fourths of the way up the tipi. To the right of the tipi is a Pendleton Blanket hanging on a pole. Behind the tipi on the right side of the photograph is a telephone pole. Writing on the photograph is "Paul Show-o-way and Daughter ThornHollow- 1901 Maj. Moorhouse," and the bottom left corner of the photograph are the numbers "4259."
