I don't know who the photographer is, but the man and son are dressed very similar to the Ute tribe. In fact, the man looks alot like the following: Chu - Ute - 1869  In addition, the beadwork design on the shoulder strap of his bandolier bag is very common among the Ute. See these other beaded bandolier bag shoulder straps for comparison: Ute man - 1869  Co-Ho (Lame Man) - Ute - 1873  Chief Piah (aka Peter Snow) - Ute - no date  |

The bandolier certainly looks like the Ute examples, although the name is Dakota. I wonder if the collection details are correct!
