The husband of the woman pictured here was Mnainak, described by Curtis as "probably the man of greatest influence among the remnant of the cognate bands that constitute the Yakima." He was the son of the former chief of the Skin village, located on the north side of Celilo Falls.
In this view, we see similar traditional patterns in the woman's basket-woven hat, and the lush beadwork that almost completely covers her outer garmet.
