- An outside photograph of a man standing to the side of a three-layer tule mat tipi. He is wearing a headband with claws on the band, and with single eagle feather in the back of his head. A buckskin coat with a leather belt is holding the coat closed. A knife and scabbard are on the belt on his left side. A loop necklace and choker and a wool blanket are around his waist to his feet. On his right arm is two coyote pelts, and in his left hand is a hatchet style pipe. The Tule mat tipi is three layers high with three poles on the outside of the mats to hold them down. The door is made of a blanket with two wooden sticks. Behind the tipi are unidentified objects on the ground next to the tipi. All around the back of the tipi are cottonwood trees and brush. Writing on the photograph is under the tipi and to the left of the man knee. "Joe Benett Walla Walla Tribe, Major Moorhouse."
