Three Native American men, identified as Young Chief, Whirlwind, and Chief No-shirt, are mounted on dark-colored horses on a plain in front of four tipis. Each man carries a staff with ermine, eagle feathers, or other decoration, and Young Chief holds a second, shorter staff with long fringe. All wear headdresses with ermine hanging down, and eagle feather trails, and two have horned headdresses. The men wear beaded moccasins and beaded pants. One wears a cloth vest, one a cloth shirt, and one a buckskin shirt. The pants of two men are visible and seem to be cloth with strips of geometric beading. The horses have beaded bridles, martingales, masks, and reins, and Young Chief's horse shook its head as the photo was taken. Chief No-shirt's horse has a striped saddle blanket; the saddle has a long strip of fur hanging down from the saddle horn, nearly to the ground. All men wear jewelry. In the background at the right of the picture, the four tipis are lined up. In the background at the left, other people and part of a horse can be seen, and at the very left it looks as though someone were holding a flag.
Eight Native-American men and women on horses are posing in front of trees and tipis. All but two have some sort of headdress, three men carry feather staffs. All the people have blankets wrapped around them. Each horse is wearing a beaded chest plate.
A Native American man, identifiied as Chief No Shirt of the Walla Walla tribe, sits on a chestnut horse, facing right. He is wearing a cowboy or Spanish-styled hat with a decorated cloth hatband. Around his neck is a fur scarf, he wears a decorated cloth jacket, decorated cloth arm band, and holds a long cloth object decorated with fur and appliqued footprints draped over his right arm. His horse is wearing a high-cantled stock saddle, a plain curb bridle, and has a long fur draped across his shoulders. In the near background are two tipis. The tipi on the right has the inside partially visible, showing three pails, a pile of blankets, and a box.
An outside photograph of a Native American man identified as Uma-Som-Kin. He is dressed in full regalia and sitting on a horse, next to a river. For his headdress, the man is wearing a bonnet with a single trail of eagle feathers. He is wearing a coat made out of a Pendleton blanket. He is wearing leggings with a design on the cuff and beaded moccasins. Because no stirrups can be seen, it would appear that he is riding either bareback or using a blanket for a saddle. He is holding the horse's bridle in both hands. The horse has a spotted coat. Across the river, on the opposite bank, are two cottonwood trees. In the background are rolling hills.
