An outside photograph of a single canvas tipi. The tipi is made up of a number of different kinds of canvas. On top of the tipi are two layers of Tule mats. There are tipi poles on the outside of the tipi to hold down some of the material. In the middle of the poles there is a rope to hold the poles in place. In the shaded side of the tipi is a door that looks to be made of a mat of some kind. There is a ladder leaning next to the door. In the background are cottonwood trees and brush. Writing on the photograph is under the tipi "Cayuse Tepee Umatilla Reservation Major Moorhouse."
