Titled "Charges Indian Bureau officials," this studio portrait ties a formal sitting to a dispute over the federal office then responsible for American Indian affairs, now the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Harris & Ewing, the Washington studio that made it, supplied portraits of officials, politicians, and newsmakers to the press from the early 1900s onward. In 1937 the Bureau was in the middle of the reforms of the Indian New Deal under Commissioner John Collier, and its policies and personnel were often contested in Washington. The dignified posing typical of the studio's work contrasts with the heated controversy the title suggests.
