Que Que Tas, the sitter named in this portrait, wears the headdress and clothing that the record highlights as the picture's focus. Edward S. Curtis made it around 1905 as part of *The North American Indian*, his long project to document Native peoples of the American West and Alaska. Curtis often posed sitters in regalia and sometimes supplied costume himself, so the image shows a composed view of tradition as much as everyday life.
