Description: A view of a dwelling site identified as "Billy Barnhart's camp on the Umatilla". At the left of the photo stands a canvas tipi supported by wooden poles. The ground it stands on, and that of the bluffs that rise up behind it and follow the line of the river, is dry with small scrubby bushes. At the extreme right edge of the picture, part of a wooden wagon wheel can be seen, and its dark shadow shows it is a sunny day. In the center of the picture, a few feet from the tipi, sit two figures wrapped in dark plaid blankets. They are sitting on the edge of the bluff above the Umatilla river, and to their right there seems to be a path that would lead over the edge of the bluff. They appear to be children, possibly girls, and the blankets cover almost all their clothing; just a bit of pant leg and moccasins are visible on the figure on the left. Both seem to have their hair in braids, and the person on the left has a long light-colored strip, possibly an eagle feather or ermine, hanging from the left braid. There is an animal hide or piece of buckskin, next to the wagon wheel in the foreground; it appears to be draped over a stick or an antler on the ground.
