Gyp Creek Branding
Bill Yellowtail photographs 1960s-2000
Description:
Women and men gather to brand cattle at Gyp Creek. While one calf, on the right, is being branded, another is being readied for branding. The latter still has just been lassoed by the man on the horse and Bill Yellowtail, Jr, far left, and another cowboy holds down the calf. The cowhands wear a variety of cowboy hats and Yellowtail wears a ball cap. The branding takes place in a corral with a wooden shed. A pickup truck sits beyond the corral. The image documents Indians and whites working together on the reservation.
