This photographic slide depicts a man wearing a traditional Native American headdress. The headdress is made of red, white and blue feathers, with a beaded headband. He wears a light blue shirt with red and blue stripes and tan pants. He wears a decorative ceremonial apron of a red bird on a black field. The black apron is edged in yellow fringe. It is held around the waist by a wide decorated belt with two large silver disks in front. In front of him is a woman in a blue sweater carrying a white purse. Standing in profile to the viewer, she holds out her hands to a small child standing in front of her. The child, standing with his back to the viewer, wears a blue blazer and a blue and white hat. In the background are a group of people and a partially constructed A frame.
