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.

Her jewelry includes shell earrings, beaded necklaces and choker, and beaded and copper bracelets. She is holding the cradleboard upright. Only the child's hooded face and the top of the wooden back support of the cradleboard are visible. The rest of the child and cradleboard are covered with a fringed scarf or shawl, with some beads or looped necklaces across the front. The entire background of the image is the solid white cloth of the tipi. A blanket is pinned to the side of the tipi, and hangs down to the ground, draping over an unseen object. Several bags are displayed on the blanket, four woven ones with geomeric patterns, and one beaded one with an image of a woman and young girl.

A young girl is standing on the left side of her mother. She is wearing a cotton dress with a collar and pockets, socks, and leather boots that lace up above the ankles. She has a white cloth bonnet on her head. Her face is not visible beneath the bonnet; she appears to be looking down and the bonnet is blurry as if she had moved her head as the photograph was taken. The woman's shawl hangs down to the ground and is draped behind her chair or stool and all of the children. The family is posed on top of a striped blanket that is on the ground in front of the backdrop. The cloth backdrop is suspended on the outside wall of a wooden building, with some of the wooden slats visible on the left side of the image., [Jennie Peo with children, in camp, or in Moorhouse yard.]
