| General Notes | An outside photograph of a Native American man who has been identified as Uma-Som-Kin. He is standing with a horse and dog to his left, and a tipi behind him. His hair is in braids with hair ornaments or ties attached to their ends and he is wearing a cowboy hat. He is dressed in a shirt, and over that a coat made out of a Pendleton Blanket. In his right hand he is holding a rifle, and in his left hand both a hand drum and horse reins. He is wearing either calf-high boots or moccasins. The horse or pony has a spotted coat; it is bareback with what appears to be a leather halter. The dog is between the horse and man. It also has a mottled or spotted coat, with uncropped ears and unknown breed heritage. The tipi is made of canvas layers. There is a cloth or canvas doorway directly behind the man; on the back of the tipi leans a broken tule mat. There are small wooden poles and various pieces of wood also leaning against the tipi's exterior. In the background are bushes and deciduous trees, perhaps cottonwood trees, leading to the hillside.
