Native American (Plains) men and women participate in a dance. One man holds a drum. The men wear moccasins, leggings, fur pelts, and war bonnet feather headdresses. The women wear moccasins, beaded and fringed dresses, some decorated with elk teeth, bells, concha belts, and scarves around their necks. A group of white spectators sit in the distance.
