Its record gives the sitter's name as Oyegi-a ye, rendered in English as Frost Moving, which sets this portrait apart from more generic views of Pueblo life. Santa Clara Pueblo, a Tewa-speaking community on the Rio Grande in north-central New Mexico, traditionally chooses its governor each year to handle civil affairs and dealings with outside authorities, a role that became more complicated after the United States gained control of the region in 1848. Portraits of Pueblo leaders from this period were often made by visiting photographers and later circulated as ethnographic records, so the image reflects both the sitter's position and the outsider's camera.
