Seven people (six women, one man) seated drinking from tin cups. A large basket with nuts is visible in the foreground. The Anglo woman (second from left) is possibly Della Fisk.
Left to Right: Chief Tecopa (in the foreground, facing away from the camera), an unidentified man (center), and an unidentified woman carrying an olla. Another man is visible in background. The photograph was taken at either Ash Meadows or Pahrump Valley, Nevada. An olla is a ceramic jar, often unglazed, used for cooking stews or soups, for the storage of water or dry foods, or for other purposes. Ollas have a short wide neck and a wider belly, resembling beanpots or handis. Chief Tecopa, leader of the Souther Paiute tribe, was born in Pahrump in 1815 and died in Pahnrump between 1904-1906.
