Overview of American Indian Policy, Treaties, and Reservations in the Northwest
Quiliute Men

Posed in American dress and the proper tools, these Quiliute men were described by their photographer as "promising young men." The view was taken by 1920, just before Indian policy began to change to allow Native Americans the opportunity to preserve their traditional culture.
