Description
A black-and-white photograph. The inscription in white ink at the bottom says 'Maj. Moorhouse and Wards' Umatilla Reservation. The number 5054 is written in the bottom left corner of the photo. Major Lee Moorhouse and two Native American children are seen in front of a tule-mat-and-canvas tipi. A wooden ladder leans against the right side of the tipi, along with some wooden poles. A striped blanket has been placed on the ground in front of the tipi, partly propped up by some unseen object, and two small children are on the blanket. The girl, who wears a scarf tied over her head, is sitting on the left side. She seems to be wearing a cloth shawl over a cloth dress. Standing to the right of her, next to Maj. Moorhouse, is a young boy, who appears to be wearing overalls topped with a dark cloth jacket missing all but the top button. His shoulder-length hair is cut in bangs. He wears European-style shoes or boots. Next to him squats the major in profile to the camera. His left hand is closest to the camera, and in it he holds the carcasse or hide of a small furry animal. The major wears a light-colored felt hat, a high-collar white shirt with a gingham patterned cravat, a vest, and striped wool trousers tucked into boots. He wears a buckskin jacket which is fringed at the seams and along the bottom and faced with fur. The front of the open jacket is also decorated with beadwork using floral motifs. Aside from a moustache, the major is clean-shaven. He is looking down towards the little boy. On the blanket in front of the children lies a semi-cylindrical basket with a geometric pattern woven in dark colors on a light background; the basket appears to have straps.
