It is from the 1951 Annual American Indian Exposition in Anadarko, OK. and it shows the crowned 1951 Kiowa Princess for that year of Barbara Pappio. (see her website about this beautiful Indian girl. This expo. officially originated with this name in 1935 and is still being held each year. This photographer was very active with the American Indian photos especially of the Kiowa tribe between the 1920's to the 1950's. Some background on Horace who was born in 1906 and died in 1984. Horace Poolaw was a photographer in a time of huge transition for "Indigenous peoples of the Americas" Native American People. He was able to document this huge transition from the inside. His photographs differ significantly from photographs taken at the same places and same times from non-Natives. Poolaw was able to show Natives in day to day life. After his death in 1984 his daughter Linda put together a photographic legacy which was printed, catalogued and ehibited. The exhibit Spirit Capture: Native Americans and the Photographic Image , that features Poolaw's work, showed at the National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution, George Heye Center, in New York in 2002.
