Farm Chapter Meeting At Lodge Grass, 1935
Crow Indian Gardeners & Farmers 1930s



Description:
"Farm Chapter Meeting At Lodge Grass": This photograph depicts members of the Lodge Grass Farm District eating a meal outside, presumably before or after their chapter meeting. Some of the participants sit on the ground and others at tables. Large gatherings where food is served are known as a "feed," on the reservation. Some of the men wear reservation hats. Due to the lack of leaves on the trees, it looks to be either late fall or early spring. Meetings such as this one were organized on a regular basis by the U.S. Department of Interior Extension Service to provide instruction about farm and garden practices to Indians and non-Indians on the reservation.
