Description
Photograph of a movie production still of Indians in the film "The Big Trail", ca.1920. People wearing feather headdresses squat in a large circle on the bottom half of the image. The people in the circle hold long narrow sticks with arrows attached to the ends while wearing native American style clothing with animal furs attached and what appears to be moccasins on their feet. To the right, a smaller group of people sit around a round table like object while wearing a variety of native American clothing for males and females. Behind the circles, horses and people fill the land while tepees sit in their midst with smoke streaming out of the top. In the background, a lush hill covered in trees is visible.
