Chief Eagle, a Native American man on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana, poses wearing a warrior's headdress in front of a teepee on the reservation. He wears large, round earrings, numerous beaded necklaces hanging around his neck, an otter sash across his chest, and holds a long spear, possibly a coup-stick, also wrapped in fur.

The sun streams through two windows of a Central City bedroom where a twin bed with a quilted cover is in the foreground. The windowsills next to the bed are decorated with bric-a-brac, including flowers, vases, bells, and miniature birds. A decorative birdcage with a bird in it hangs in front of the window. Lace curtains, gathered at the sides, decorate each window. A butterfly design is on the curtain on the right. The masonry wall and the vegetation in the yard are visible through the window.
