Gaiters that lace up the side cover his lower pant legs. Several of the Native Americans wear feathers on the backs of their heads. A woman stands in the left background under a large tent. She holds her hands on her hips. A group of men is also gathered under the tent in the center background. Most of the men wear derby hats and suits.
