Mis Se Pah, a Mohave woman, is pictured with her jewelry as a central part of the portrait. Edward S. Curtis made the photograph around 1903, while he was building the photographic survey that became *The North American Indian*. The Mohave lived along the lower Colorado River in Arizona and California, and Curtis's portraits of them often treated personal ornament and dress as markers of identity. Because he arranged and posed his subjects, the image reflects his choices as well as her own presence before the camera.
