PH036_6230 Lee Moorhouse photographs

Description: 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.

Description: A Native American man and two Native American girls are standing inside a tipi made of woven mats. The tipi has a pole hung horizontally across the diameter. The man is wearing a cloth shirt, a woven vest and woven belt, pants made from a Pendleton blanket, with a piece of blanket or cloth draped in front, earrings, necklace, and headdress. The two girls are wearing long cloth dresses, with striped blankets draped around them. The older girl has long braids, earrings, and her blanket is fringed on all four sides. The younger girl has on a hat or head scarf. The inside perimeter of the tipi contains blankets, a drum with drum sticks, a rifle, a kettle, a pail, a bowl, and a pile of sticks. There are several objects hanging from the wall, including a leather case with shoulder strap, and some ornamental items, some with fur tails. The pail is only visible in the right-hand photo.
