Ojibwe Dancers
Image
Elevated view of a group of male and female Ojibwe (Chippewa) dancers forming a circle. They are surrounded by a crowd of white onlookers. The dancers are wearing a combination of Native American and European-style clothing, including hats, as well as feathered headdresses. There are horse stalls in the background, which suggests this photograph was taken at the Odanah Fair.
1920
