Metadata Issues for Picturing the Cayuse
• Project goal to provide native peoples the opportunity to describe images in their own words
• Also wanted to provide UO descriptions
• Devised separate metadata fields for each, mapped to same DC fields but with distinct labels
• Prominence given to native peoples’ descriptions

Photo Number: PH036_4392
Comments about the image or metadata: I am browsing the collection to look for any relations to my fiance (Umatilla Tribal Member), and came across this photo. I was touched by the sweet little dog in the photo asleep on the blanket, and wondered why he was not mentioned in the description. I know it took a long time to pose for these photos, and merely getting the scene right must have made the baby and dog both exhausted.
