Baker & Johnson photo, c. 1883-1885.
The view depicts a study of Washakie's family. Washakie
has the saw. To the right of Chief Washakie is one of
Washakie's young sons, Charley Washakie, then Washakie's Crow
wife, Leegup. The child to her left is Annie Washakie
and then Onavitsie, another young son of Washakie. Tegolah,
the father of Annie, is standing behind the children.
Another daughter of Washakie, Mappeshukie, is seated at the
left of the four girls. George Washakie, a son, stands
just behind the teepee. The first man seated to the
right in the photo is Mahtavis , who is also seen in one of
the studio shots. Others are Sagwot, Johnson Hit-Janip,
and son Dick Washakie (standing beside the white man).
The white man is Lieutenant Young, a soldier at Fort Washakie.

In this Baker & Johnson family scene, Washakie again
has the saw. To the left, standing, is son Dick Washakie.
Tegotie [probably Togotie] stands to the right of Lt. Young
and wears a striped trade blanket.
One of the tepees is made of brush. Washakie holds a saw
to a wooden pole. The men wear moccasins, leggings, blankets,
and wide-brimmed hats. The women wear dresses, one decorated
with teeth, and bead necklaces.

Another Baker & Johnson photo, c. 1883-1885.
Washakie and a girl (most likely a granddaughter) pose near
a teepee. He holds a piece of cloth and points in the distance.
He wears moccasins, a kilt, and a cloth belt. As in
the other photographs of Washakie taken by Baker & Johnson,
his shirt appears to be a plaid or checked calico and his
moccasins are plain and undecorated. The girl wears moccasins,
a leather belt decorated with metal, a dress decorated with
teeth, and a bead necklace.

Baker & Johnson took this photo of Washakie and Shoshone
dancers in front of the adjutant's office at Fort Washakie.
Sometimes dated as 1892, but again, his shirt & manner
of dress suggest the c.1883-1885 period. Note that he
wears the same blanket, tied with a sash in the photo above
and in this one.

A group of Shoshone and Arapaho men in front of the post
trader's house (James K. Moore) at Fort Washakie. Chief
Washakie is on horseback at the right. This is
probably the work of Frank Jay Haynes, in 1883, during the
presidential visit of Chester A. Arthur.
