Cowboy Checkers, 1960s

An Apsáalooke/Crow man and a white man play checkers at Gyp Creek camp. They both sit on logs and a dog stands between them looking at the checker board. The Crow man wears Wrangler jeans, a ball cap, and work boots. The white man has a large mustache and he wears a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, spurs, jeans, and a leather vest. He smiles as he looks down at the board. A stack of antlers is piled in front of one cabin and decorate the front of both of them. the other cabin is scattered with items of ranch work, including boots, yellow rain slickers, a winter coat and other clothing, lariats, chopped logs for a fire, a livestock water tank, and a large cooler. This image shows an Indian and a non-Indian together at play during their time off from ranch work.
