Identified on its caption card as Nagahate, or "Big Numbers," a chief, this single photographic print dates to about 1922. The catalog flags its caption information as unverified, so the name and translated nickname should be read as provisional. Portraits of Native leaders from the early 1920s often emphasized dress and bearing, and they circulated widely as records of people most viewers would never meet. The print is copyrighted by photographer Edward A. Salisbury, and the record notes that no copyright renewals were filed.
