Several years ago I photographed most of the Elders of the Fort McDermitt Tribe. Eileen was born in 1910, a Pitt River/Paiute Indian. She is a very proud Elder, and rightly so. She made this dress, as well as many others. She lives in a comfortable home at the reservation with loving family. The photographs are on display in the Humboldt County Library in Winnemucca.
