    Description

    Pictured above is a rare and hard to find Real Photo Postcard of a Native American Child in full traditional clothing.  This is a very interesting photo showing a young girl standing alone with men on horses on side and a group of adult natives on the other side behind her.  We can only imagine what is happening here because the text on the back reads:
    "This is a little squaw.  Her dress is made of buck skins trimmed with beads and porcupine quills.  She is just as clean as any white child"
    .  The photographer made a wise decision to capture this image.  Perhaps a person who is knowledgeable about native
    Americans
    could identify the tribe or region in which this gathering took place.  There are many more photos taken in a studio than one's like this that were taken on location.  This must have been an important event.  Nobody seems to be paying attention to this child while she poses for the camera.  I am offering this postcard with historical significance at auction with No Reserve and a low starting bid.
    Buy with confidence and t
    hanks for looking.
