  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: PH036_4238 Lee Moorhouse photographs Year: 1900 An outside photograph of a Native American man posing in front of a plain blanket backdrop. He is kneeling on his right knee, with a round flat coiled cedar root mat just behind him. To the right of the backdrop is a wooden walkway. In the background are hazy outlines of buildings. He is holding a hand drum in his left hand and a drumstick in his right hand. The drum is decorated with a zigzag pattern around its circumference, surrounding a single moon and star. He is wearing a headdress that extends fully to the ground, a bonnet with a single trail of eagle feathers and plumes. He has a deep scar on his right cheek and is wearing a necklace of animal claws. He is wearing a beaded buckskin shirt with decorative, beaded hangings across the front. The bottom of his shirt is fringed and overlays a garment of striped cloth. He is also wearing buckskin leggings and beaded moccasins. A hatchet-style pipe is leaning on his left leg. A beaded bag with geometric design is hanging from his right wrist.

Behind the tipis are trees with leaves on them. The horse wears a martingale with geometric beading, a saddle, and a beaded bridle. There seems to be a fringed rifle scabbard in front of the saddle, and a staff with feathers thrust into the ground between the horse and man. The man wears a single trail bonnet with ermine which seems to be slightly longer than he is tall. His dark hair hangs down in front in two braids. He wears a light-colored cloth shirt, the rounded tails of which hang below a short vest, and leggings. His left hand supports the base of a handle of a tomahawk, and a fur bandoleer. His right hand grips the top of the blade of the axe. Horse and man are facing into the sun; their shadows stretch behind them to the right of the photograph. A figure can be dimly seen through the triangular door of the tipi in the background.

Moorhouse and Wards' Umatilla Reservation. The number 5054 is written in the bottom left corner of the photo. Major Lee Moorhouse and two Native American children are seen in front of a tule-mat-and-canvas tipi. A wooden ladder leans against the right side of the tipi, along with some wooden poles. A striped blanket has been placed on the ground in front of the tipi, partly propped up by some unseen object, and two small children are on the blanket. The girl, who wears a scarf tied over her head, is sitting on the left side. She seems to be wearing a cloth shawl over a cloth dress. Standing to the right of her, next to Maj. Moorhouse, is a young boy, who appears to be wearing overalls topped with a dark cloth jacket missing all but the top button. His shoulder-length hair is cut in bangs. He wears European-style shoes or boots. Next to him squats the major in profile to the camera. His left hand is closest to the camera, and in it he holds the carcasse or hide of a small furry animal. The major wears a light-colored felt hat, a high-collar white shirt with a gingham patterned cravat, a vest, and striped wool trousers tucked into boots. He wears a buckskin jacket which is fringed at the seams and along the bottom and faced with fur. The front of the open jacket is also decorated with beadwork using floral motifs. Aside from a moustache, the major is clean-shaven. He is looking down towards the little boy. On the blanket in front of the children lies a semi-cylindrical basket with a geometric pattern woven in dark colors on a light background; the basket appears to have straps.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: PH036_5129 Lee Moorhouse photographs Year: 1900 A black-and-white photograph of a Native American man. In white ink near the bottom is written Yakima Moorhouse. The man stands in front of a canvas backdrop on which is painted a leafy woodland scene. The canvas extends onto the floor and into the foreground of the photo; he is standing on it, and in front of him are two leaf-shaped stone arrowheads. The man's hair is pulled up and back from his face and into pigtails which are bound in fur hairwraps and extend nearly to his waist. A long quilled and beaded hair ornament hangs from the right side of his head; on the left side is an ornament of feathers. He wears shell disk earrings, a choker necklace, and loop necklaces, with a disk hanging from one of the loops. The collar of his long dark cloth shirt is turned down. Over the shirt he wears a wide beaded armband above the elbow on each arm. His open cloth vest is decorated or patterned, and it appears that a long ornament including hair, beads, and feathers is attached to the right shoulder. It hangs down to his knees. Under the vest but over the shirt he seems to be wearing a leather belt decorated with brass tacks. Below that is an dark apron with geometrical decorations made with buttons or coins; the hem has a white zigzag edging with the points facing down. His dark leggings also have a lighter zigzag edging, but on them the points face up. There seem to be lighter strips of weaving or beading, as well as some braids, hanging loose from underneath the apron or the shirt and reaching to his ankles. The man wears moccasins beaded with a floral design. In his hands he holds a hatchet-style pipe with the blade facing down. The handle of the pipe has geometric designs on it, and a triangle of beading or weaving hanging off the end, itself fringed with long strips that hang to the ground. The fringe is decorated with a few small bells. On the floor at the left of the photo is a pile of blankets and other objects.

Two of the standing men are white men, identified as John McBain and Lee Moorhouse. Both wear suits and ties and McBain wears a felt hat while Moorhouse wears a high top hat. Both men have moustaches. Moorhouse holds a long pipe and flat geometrically beaded bag with fringe in his right hand, and his left hand is on the shoulder of the man seated in front of him, identified as Young Chief of the Cayuse. A Native American man, identified as Chief Sho-o-way of the Cayuse, stands in the back, also wearing a suit. He has a top-coat with furred lapels over it, and a conspicuous watch chain and medal. He wears no hat, and his gray or white hair hangs to his shoulders, where it is curled. The fourth man in the back row, identified as Chief Wolf, does not seem to be wearing headgear, but the middle section of his dark hair is pulled back from his forehead and puffed up above his head, and there seem to be feathers or other ornaments in it. The hair on the sides hangs at least to his shoulders. He wears a choker necklance and buckskin shirt, with a blanket across his left shoulder to the right side of his waist. He appears to be holding a large white feather or wing with dark spots in his right hand. The three Native American men seated in front are all wearing headgear. The man on the left, seated on a wooden chair, is identified as Chief Peo of the Umatilla. He wears a stand-up bonnet of feathers over his shoulder-length hair, and seven rows of necklaces, and his shirt is decorated with shells or teeth along its v-neck, with a stiff fringe below the shoulders. His hands are crossed on his lap, and the lower hand rests on a patterned blanket hanging between his legs. His upper, right, arm, is crossed over, and he has another blanket draped over it, and a ring on his hand. His pants have wide strips of beading down the outside of the legs. He seems to be wearing plain moccasins. The man in the center has been identifed as Chief Homily of the Walla Walla. He seems to be wearing a military cap, ornamented with beading, feathers, and fringe. His buckskin shirt has rectangular areas of beading on the sleeves and a row of ermine across the chest and shoulders.He seems to be wearing plain buckskin chaps over his pants, and beaded moccasins. His hands are in his lap and in his right hand he holds a pipe, from which a beaded bag dangles. The third seated man, Young Chief, wears a straw or felt hat with a hatband and an ornament standing up in the front, out of which emerge plumes of feathers which curve over the top of his hat. He has dark shoulder-length hair, and an earring is visible. He too wears loops of beads around his neck. He seems to be wearing a military jacket with chevrons at the wrist over a plaid shirt. The jacket is decorated with fringe at the shoulders which depends lower than his elbows. He has a patterned blanket over both legs and rolled in his lap, with patterned trousers underneath and floral beaded moccasins. His hands in his lap grasp a hatchet-style pipe, which has a flat beaded bag with streamers hanging from it. The area beneath the men is covered with a very hairy rug or mat, which is slightly rolled up at the right side of the photograph.

She points to her left with her right arm upraised and index finger outstretched. Her costume consists of a geometically decorated hat shaped like a tuncated cone, a fringed leather dress with geometric beading, and moccasins with floral beading at the ankles. She wears a number of metal bangle bracelets and what looks like a brass arm band. In her left hand she holds the string to a geometrically-beaded rectangular bag which has circular shapes made of up joined triangles, dark shapes on light bag. Over her shoulders runs a striped band which is attached to the cradleboard she wears on her back. Although the design cannot be seen clearly in this photo, what can be seen resembles almost exactly similar photos of cradleboards with bold floral designs. Attached to the cradleboard is a dark geometrically-decorated piece of cloth or blanket which acts as a hood for the baby. All that can be seen of the baby is the right side of its head, as the rest is engulfed in the bag of the cradleboard. The tipi a few yards behind her seems to be covered with woven mats, and has several long poles on the outside as well as the inside framework. Leaning upright against it are several boards and branches. Close behind is a line of low trees or high bushes, and to the right of the photo a criss-cross of lines that might be from a fence or other structure. The woman's pose is upright and self-assured as she gestures.
