| General Notes | This photograph of a Native American man identified as "John Liberty, Umatilla tribe", is set up as if it were a studio portrait, with a dark blanket hanging down behind him as a backdrop. However, over the top of the blanket can be seen treetops and sky. The seated man wears a feathered headdress with ermine and ribbons hanging down the left side over his bare chest to his waist. A geometrically patterned blanket covers his lap from his waist to where the portrait ends at his knees. His right hand grasps a pipe, which is decorated with ribbons. A decorated strip of some material or leather also seems to hang from the pipe; it has pictographs or geometric designs beaded or painted on. The man's dark hair appears to be cut short; most is hiddent beneath the headdress.
