This is noted as copyright F.T . Cummins 1903 ; in 1903 hinmatóoyalahtq’it (Joseph) appeared in Colonel Fredrick T . Cummins ' "Indian Congress " effectively a Wild West show , in New York's Madison Square Garden . If this dates from that show , then the image was probably promotional in nature and copyrighted by FT Cummins but not taken by him. More , the man in the picture bears a strong resemblance to the few easily accessible pictures of FT Cummins , and may be Cummins himself . hinmatóoyalahtq’it (Joseph) would die one year later , in 1904 .
