Item Details
Description
Cabinet card photograph of three Native American subjects, likely members of the Osage tribe, wearing a blend of traditional and European clothing. The two older subjects wear devices around their neck that feature a heart-shaped symbol- its significance is unknown at this time, but may indicate a fraternal, society, or religious affiliation.
No photographer's imprint, but the backdrop's aesthetic style is similar to others used in the Oklahoma Territory. A compelling portrait taken during a time of forced assimilation, conversion, and displacement.
