View of an Indian woman posed in Hupa ceremonial dress, with shells. Title from caption in Album A. This was one of Ericson’s most popular photographs. Matilda’s father was German and her mother was from the Colville tribe in Washington. She was a seamstress for the Indian School in Hoopa, Ca., and is posed in Hupa ceremonial dress, but is not Hupa herself.
