Description
This photographic print, dated 1942, depicts an ample display of harvested fruits and vegetables lined up on shelves. On the top, center shelf are two small American flags with a sign that reads “Elbowoods” behind them. The shelves are decorated with 4-H clover leaves. The top shelves are lined with jarred canned goods. At the bottom of the display, on the floor, there are several large pumpkins and gourds. The jars and the different types of food displayed appear to have labels, but they are unreadable in the photograph.
Original print housed at the National Archives Catalogue in Kansas City, Missouri in the “Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs” group. The Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation are noted as “subjects represented” in the collection. National Archives identifier number: 285322; NAIL Control Number: NRE-75-FB(PHO)-383.
