Mrs. Many Horse sits at a typewriter, typing for the Indian agent on the Blackfeet reservation, while stretching a strand of chewing gum from her mouth with evident good humor. The reservation lies beside Glacier National Park in northwestern Montana, and its agency office handled correspondence and the daily paperwork of federal administration. The caption card gives no date, so the scene is best placed in the early twentieth century, when posed, lighthearted pictures of Native people at work were often made for outside audiences. Horses, the subject this board files it under, were central to Blackfeet life, but this image shows an office rather than the open range.
