Tlakluit woman from the Wishram tribe dressed in bridal garb, on the northern banks of Columbia River, Oregon

"She’s adorned with a beaded headdress with Chinese coins, which made their appearance in the Columbia River region at a comparatively early date. This form of head-dress was worn on special occasions by girls between the age of puberty and their marriage. Her dress is made out of buckskin and is mainly embroidered with black and white beads, with a few more colorful ones in between. She’s even wearing eyeliner and painted her lips red."

c. 1910
