Studio portraits and other photographs made by Samuels & Mays of Ute people. There are three portraits of Ute individuals, including White Crow and Chief Antelope, identified as the man who killed Nathan Meeker, and a photograph of an Native American man, probably Ute, identified as having been captured by state game warden Harris at Sulphur Creek.
