A silver gelatin print depicting a black-and-white portrait of a man wearing a war bonnet, eyeglasses, and a pinback button that reads [INDIAN / POWER].

He wears a white shirt with buttoned collar and a round white pinback button reading [INDIAN / POWER] in black text affixed just below the center button of the collar. He also wears beaded necklaces. The war bonnett consists of band with beaded design across the man's forehead with thread wrapped white feathers extending above and dark colored ribbons suspended from the band near the man's temples and descending past his shoulders. The print is signed on the back in graphite [Jill Freedman].
