About this site:
I have been an avid collector of old photographs and documents for over 30 years. The photographs on this site are derived from material I have collected over the years. Some came from old family albums, some from material I bought at flea markets over the years, and some from government archives of public domain images, including the US Library of Congress, and the National Archives. We appreciate you visiting this blog, and hope you find it interesting.

Their ceremonial dress is so very interesting, ornate.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember seeing any photos of this type of the Indians in Nevada, Utes, Paiutes
Would you have a location for that photo? Wind River Reservation?
ReplyDeleteHis clothing is interesting. I wonder what his necklace is made of.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting how different the Indians look across the country. The Kumeyaay Indians in Southern California where I live have very round faces. The cheekbones aren't nearly as prominent.
