Today I finished the second box of prints and started the third (CH 708 - 860). I scanned and edited through CH 739. Yesterday I noticed that many prints were not properly labeled, so today I added "CH" with pencil to the ID numbers through CH 736. The missing key continue through CH 860. 'Title' is finished through CH 720, and 'Date' through CH 860 (the end of the first Metadata sheet).
I have realized that there are quite a few duplicates throughout the collection. How should I label these prints? Should I mark it with its 'CH 0000' and 'filename,' and write "DUPLICATE OF CH ####) in the description? Or should I repeat everything then just add the duplicate information in the description?
CH 653 was an interesting find. It shows people on horseback, some in traditional regalia and others in Western equestrian gear. They are moving in a line around an arena. Was this procession part of the annual pageant? Was this an annual event? Is there significance in that both Native Americans and white Americans were taking part in this procession together? What is the symbolism of this event?
CH 662 - 665 show different people dressed in traditional regalia. Many in the photos are dancers. Another man takes a photo. There are drummers as well. Was this event also part of the pageant? Is it a powwow, and if so, who was invited to partake? Is this the same annual powwow that occurs at Chemawa today?
621 - 739 / 3220
