The image depicts a woman in traditional attire of the Cheyenne tribe, performing what appears to be part of a sun dance ceremony. She is kneeling on one knee beside a tree stump or similar structure and holding branches that she has gathered from around her. The landscape behind her features open fields with some sparse vegetation and white tents set up at various distances in the background. This scene likely represents cultural practices within Native American tribes during early 20th-century documentation efforts by Edward S. Curtis, a renowned photographer known for his work on documenting indigenous cultures of North America.
