The record gives this portrait's sitter as Mack Pocatella, a name that echoes Pocatello, the Shoshone leader whose name was later given to the city in Idaho, though the caption card's data is unverified and the link is not confirmed. The print is a photoprint issued by Heyn, a commercial studio whose c1899 portraits of Native American sitters were widely sold as souvenirs and studio keepsakes. Its cataloging tag, "BI (Indians)," marks the sitter as Native American, and the setting and dress are worth comparing with other portraits from the same period.
