Original 1927 press photograph showing a Native American man wrapped in a blanket and playing a tuba. Cringeworthy press caption on the verso reads: "The Indian is noted as being stoical and silent. He never 'blows his own horn.' But here's Chief Mu-Sha-Tass blowing his first note on the heavy brass as he practices for the red skin band organized at the Glacier National Park Reservation." Stamped June 8, 1927. 16.5 x 21.5 cm.
