Scope and Contents:
The Fort Belknap Reservation is a semi-autonomous Native American-governed territory located in north central Montana shared by the A'aninin (Gros Ventre) and the Nakota (Assiniboine). The photographs in this subseries include prints, slides and negatives that highlight the quilt work of Ella First Kill Brown, Alice Burned Hand, Joesphine First Raised, Frances Weasel Woman Fox, Clemence Gardipee, Teresa Lame Bull, Julia Rider, Evelyn Speak Thunder, Jeanette Warrior and Rose Weasel. There are also photographs of many of the quilters themselves and their families, for instance, there are photographs of Frank Ereaux, nephew of Frances Weasel Woman Fox, who first invited Pulford to Montana to meet his family at Fort Belknap. Additionally there is a photograph of the George Speak Thunder give-away ceremony which is highlighted in Pulford's book and negatives of Juanita Tucker who is extensively interviewed by Pulford in the audio recordings.
