- Description
- A Native American woman stands in front of a canvas tipi. The woman is wearing a cloth dress, with a woven blanket draped around her. One foot is visible and it can be seen she is wearing a plain moccasin. The dress cloth is a floral pattern; the blanket is striped with wavy lines, and has fringe on all four sides. The woman is wearing a beaded necklace and shell earrings, and has two long braids. A young girl wearing a long dress stands in the doorway of the tipi, but her image is blurry as she must have turned just as the photo was shot. A second tipi is partially visible to the right side, behind the front tipi. Both tipis are shaded by the tall deciduous trees behind them.

- An outside photograph of a woman and a child in a campsite. An unidentified woman dressed in her regalia is standing on the side of a canvas tipi. She is wearing a wing dress, necklace, and a wool shawl over her shoulders. The child is standing in the doorway of the tipi. At the time the photograph was taken the child was moving and is a blur. Part of the tipi on the bottom is pulled up to see inside of the tipi. There are a number of unidentified objects that can be seen inside of the tipi. Behind the child is another canvas tipi that is facing the same way. It is in between some brush. The background is tall brush and Cottonwood trees.
