Beautiful picture.

I'd suggest the woman is wearing a ceremonial outfit as staging for the picture. Her dress is very elaborate and she probably has other and simpler day-to-day wear. Could stand to be corrected though.

Here in western Montana there is a huge collection of photos like this from roughly the 1880's to the 1930's of photos like this hanging in most of the businesses, with a treasure trove in the museums in town. On my reservation there are at least 3 good museums plus many more hanging in the tribal college. Worth checking out!
