Signs on commercial buildings read: "Miller's Dry Goods, Haberdashery" "Little Supermarket" "Endner's Hardware" and "Elmer's Sporting Goods." Spectators sit or stand on sidewalks. Men wear feather headdresses, hair pipe breast plates, leather loin cloths, moccasins, leg bands with bells, woven blankets and carry a painted drum that reads: "Jicarilla Apache." A woman wears a fringed shawl over a dress and a headband. Men on horseback wear cowboy hats.
