Four Native American men and a Native American woman stand in front of three tipis. The people are identified as Dr. Whirlwind, Ta-wa-Toi, Mrs. No-shirt, Chief No-shirt, and Red Elk. The men all wear horned headdresses with ermine hanging from them, and trails of eagle feathers, except for Ta-wa-Toi, who does not seem to have the trail of feathers. The men wear a mix of cloth or buckskin shirts and legwear. Some of the men seem to have blankets wrapped around their legs. All the men wear moccasins and jewelry, including loop necklaces. In their right hands Dr. Whirlwind and Red Elk each hold a staff with eagle feathers attached. Red Elk has a long beaded and furred belt, decorated with medals or buttons, draped over his left arm. Ta-wa-Toi is holding the fur of an animal in front of himself; the pelt includes the fur from the animal's tail, legs, and head. Chief No-shirt seems to be holding up some weaving. Mrs. No-shirt stands next to him. Her dark hair in braids; she is draped in a geometrically-beaded skin and seems to be wearing a fringed buckskin dress and a bracelet. She too wears moccasins. She holds a geometrically-beaded flat bag in front of herself. The caption on the photograph says "Umatilla Reservation July 4, 1903".

A collection of items identified as "Lee Moorhouse collection of Indian costumes and artifacts" is grouped on the board-and-batten porch of a house. Flanked by two lattice-work columns, most of the items are baskets with geometric designs, along with a few pieces of pottery, also with geometric designs. Baskets are piled up to half-hide the window, with its four narrow lead-lights, and spill out past the low porch to the ground. In the center back hang two beaded dresses and what looks like part of a cradleboard. A beaded bag hangs on the left column, and baskets hang on the other. In the right back corner of the porch is a strikingly bold geometrically patterned textile, with some tall sticks propped up behind it. Two women stand on the porch wearing dresses with capes or blanket strips over their shoulders. They each hold a geometrically-decorated bag, and wear conical hats. Other woven hats can be seen among the baskets and pottery piled in front of them. Their hair seems to be either pulled back or cut short.
A young Cayuse woman named Ku-mas-sag sits outdoors in autumn or winter on a striped woolen blanket laid on the leaf-strewn ground. Her long hair is braided and she wears a hat shaped like a truncated cone with beading or quilling on it in a geometric design; a western-style women's broadbrimmed hat with scarf and feather accessorizing it lies on the blanket at her side. One foot is outstretched, showing a legging with a floral design. She appears to be holding a buckskin purse or bag which, like her dress, is fringed. She wears a cloth long-sleeved under-shirt, belt, bracelets, and earrings, and around her neck appears to be a choker-style necklace or fastening for the short cape that covers her shoulders. The cape and top of her dress have beading or quilling in geometric block designs.
