content: Comments by J.C. Ewers (1954): "I judge it [the Blackfoot travois picture] was taken about 1900 (from the costume and accessories). The travois is O. K. but I do not think the horse is an Indian pony - looks like a big white man's horse. The tobacco pouch is of Siouan origin, and the "club" looks odd. But the rest of the accessories look good Blackfoot."
