| Title on Object | Camp of Billy Barnhart, Umatilla Indian, on Umatilla river, 1903 |
| TCI Title | Drying Eels |
| General Notes | A view of what has been identified as the camp of Billy Barnhart, on the bluffs above the Umatilla river. To the left can be seen a wagon draped with canvas or cloth. In the center of the photo stands a tipi supported by its wooden poles. In the right foreground stand two women at either end of a fish drying rack made of wooden poles. The rack is a little above the head height of the women and is covered with eels hung up to dry. A similar rack seems to be just visible on the extreme left of the picture. Both women are wrapped in blankets. The woman on the left has a plaid blanket, and is wearing a dark patterned cloth dress. Her hair is in braids, and a disc earring or hair ornament is visible. Her left hand is lifted and she is holding an object. On the ground near her feet is a white enamel bowl. To the left of the bowl is an object made of buckskin, possibly a large bag or pouch for toting the fish. The woman on the right wears a blanket patterned with stripes and ovals over a dark patterned cloth dress. Her dark hair also hangs in long braids. The Umatilla river winds through the middle of the picture, and the distant shore with its low trees rises up gently, while in the distance mountains are visible. |
