Tribal Notes
An outside photograph of a young girl dressed up in regalia standing in front of a blanket back drop. She is wearing a beaded dress, Cornhusk hat, choker, women legging, and moccasins. She is holding in both hands a bow. She is standing on a coiled cedar root mat which is under a blanket. In the background there is a blanket tacked to a wooden frame. Writing on the photograph is "Tirzah Trask Umpqua Tribe Maj. Moorhouse." Regalia suspected to be Moorhouse props as it does not seem consistent with the dress of the area.
