Two Native American women on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana pose on horseback in a field. Both have long hair in braids; each wears a dress adorned with beads. The bridles on the horses are similarly adorned with beadwork. The women sit on patterned, wool blankets that cover their wood-frame saddles. Mountains aren the distance.
