Titled "Ute buck and squaw," this c1906 photograph by C.E. Emery shows a Ute man and woman. The title uses a term that is now considered offensive, and the record does not identify the sitters by name. The Ute people lived across what is now Colorado and Utah, and by the early twentieth century treaties, reservation boundaries, and the arrival of settlers and tourists had reshaped their lives. Portraits like this were often posed and sold as souvenirs, so they reflect the photographer's choices as much as everyday life. The catalog details come from an old caption card and remain unverified.
