This print from 1866 showcases two Digger Indians of the Yosemite Valley, dressed in a unique blend of native and western attire. The men are seen wearing traditional feathers alongside a top hat adorned with a bugle motif, symbolizing the cultural fusion that was prevalent during this period of history.
The image provides a glimpse into the complex relationship between indigenous peoples and Western settlers, highlighting the ways in which different types of dress were incorporated and adapted by both groups. The studio setting adds an element of formality to the scene, emphasizing the significance of these individuals within their community.
