A collection of thirtynine
photographs of men, four to an album page, who were members of a social group calling itself " The Improved Order of Red Men", taken in the early 20th century. The group wore home-made Indian costumes at meetings, DCHS has a small collection of their clothing, but these photographs are of men in coat and tie. The photos identify the men as members of the Itaska Tribe. According to Wikipedia, Itaska are a genuine tribe, located in Indiana and Illinois, but this group is grown white men playing Indian and today would be considered inappropriate.
