Chief Starblanket and Group of Men at Treaty Four Signing

ack of photo: Group of Cree Indians in gala attire, taken at the paying of Treaty money at File Hills Reserve. The dresses are very brilliant. The tall man at back of group is wearing an overall of vivid blue. The white cuffs and all cross stitch patterns are their own handiwork. Tiny white beads very closely and evenly sewn together forming the background for cross stitch diamonds, the squares and fringes done in brightly colored beads. The old man wearing a fur cap is a Chief, his name is Star Blanket. The very old man sitting in the centre is quite blind and over a hundred years old. (Sent by Rita, Aug 1914 and copied from her letter). We were at the Treaty when this was taken. It was a boiling hot day. This photo was taken by a Regina photographer and a duplicate is in a Regina museum."
