Catalogued as "A Ute brave," this c1906 photograph by C.E. Emery carries caption tags that also read "Indians--Women," so the sitter's identity and gender remain unconfirmed. By the early 1900s, the Ute people of the Great Basin and Rocky Mountain region were living under reservation confinement and mounting pressure from settlers and federal policy. Images like this were often made for popular audiences and collectors of the time, and many leaned on stereotypes of Native people as a vanishing race, so the pose and setting deserve a careful look.
