Description: The reverse reads:
"The homes of the Long Island and New England Indians, around the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, all had reminders of their former culture and glory such as, tintypes of relatives in costume, old mortars and pestles, baskets as well as photos of the family in the latest dress of the period. In many homes there were Indian statues on mantelpieces and upon pedestals such as the one in the background that appears to the right of the clock.
This is a most interesting photo of Amelia Halsey and her daughter Emma, who ever mindful of their Montauk origin had braided her hair and crowned it with a headband and a feather.
The mother appears to be holding a bible in her hands and note the poodle on the bed. Emma Halsey appears in closeup in Photo 4 where she has her luxurious hair piled on top of her head. Amelia, the mother appears in a closeup in Photo 2."
