This image shows a group of actors dressed in costumes meant to portray Native Americans. The actor in the center of the image has a hoop that is on fire. This would be part of the fire dance in the play. The male actors all have feathers in their hair or on their heads. The women cover their hair and hold staffs with feather decor on the ends. A person with a face mask on the lower right sits with a drum. This photo was on the back of the fourth page of the photo album.
