Tribal Notes
An outside photograph of an unidentified woman standing on a porch of a house. She is wearing a beaded buckskin dress, cornhusk hat, necklaces, and a beaded leather belt. She is in the back of the photograph; in front of her are many different sizes and kinds of baskets. Behind her are two wool blankets that are hanging on the wall. In the left side of the photograph is a beaded buckskin dress. There are many different sizes and types of baskets that are on the ground on the steps and on the porch. Some of the baskets are on top of each other and some are hanging on the wall of the house. On each side of the window are beaded buckskin dresses. This is a collection that has been collected by Major Moorhouse. Some of these objects have appeared in some of Major Moorhouse's other photographs on different people. Most of the left side of the photograph is missing, as the glass plate negative was broken. It starts in the top right corner, runs across to the middle left side, and back in the photograph out about a quarter of the way down from the top. There is a scratch or a crack that runs across the middle of the photograph.
