Photograph of a Group of Duckwater Shoshones living at Blackeyes camp; From: Final Report. Relief Homeless Indians; Nevada; Lorenzo D. Creel; Special Supervisor; June 30, 1917; Photographic Exhibit No. 1; (82-1/II/2) June 13, 1917; Blackeye is rather a strong character and owns a number of horses on the range; He is the Indian wearing glasses; The Indian woman in front is his mother, 100 years of age, and this is the first photo ever taken of her; Her eye sight is poor, but her memory is very clear; She gave me a very intelligent account of the first white men she ever saw who were camping where the Irwin ranch now is. She is one of 3 Indians I met upon this trip who were adults before the whites ever penetrated this valley; At this time they had no knowledge of iron, using only the bow and arrow and flint knives, and dressing entirely in skins and their clothing was very scant; None of the children had any clothing until they reached the age of puberty, according to her story; Accordi
