Ten men in Indigenous American garb standing in a group

A sepia toned photograph shows a group of ten men with medium dark skin and long dark hair. One figure at center is shown standing facing left, looking down while holding out his left palm face up, and gesturing with his right hand. He wears a light colored shirt with fringed sleeves. The others stand in a line just behind him, looking on, partially smiling. They wear moccasins and hold blankets wrapped around them, and one figure at center left wears a feather headdress.
