Additional Description

General

Note taped on verso: "29 Photo by Harmon Percy Marble Menomonee Reservation M1 This looks like Indians from several different tribes, perhaps a Wild West Show group. That would be a very educated guess. Man on far left has a fur cap which would be Woodlands Style, either Menomonee or Oneida. 4th man from left has his braids wrapped in fur and is wearing a Presidential Peace medal. 5th from left also wears a peace medal and is holding either a staff or pipe. Indian man on 2nd from right is wearing a medal pendant, gorget, most likely German silver; this is a very southern Plains Style. Man on far right is wearing a hairpipe bone breastplate: hair is wrapped in cloth."
