A horizontally oriented sepia-toned photogravure depicts a Wichita ceremony. On our left, a conical grass-thatched house stands beside a long, open brush shelter where a crowd watches from the shadows. In the center, several dancers in feathered regalia perform across a wide dirt clearing. Dense, leafy trees rise in the background behind the structures. Printed text at the bottom reads, "GRASS-HOUSE CEREMONY-WICHITA."
