Original number 14 on face of photo. Handwritten on reverse of photo by Mrs H. H. Bailey: ca 1950's: " 'Ration Day' at Anadarko, O. T., Each Indian was given a piece of land in the Indian Territory. The Government built a 2 or three room house on the land in which each, or many of the owners put their plows, etc.--and lived in their tents so they could move about on the reservation. "Once a month was Ration Day--when they went to the Commissary to draw flour, sugar and other foods for the coming month. Some leased their land to white men--so had an income from it. But they did not like to work."

"Irwin and Mankins, Chickasha and Duncan, I. T." (Imprint on face of mount).
