Label Text:John Rose and Bennie Hopkins ran a successful photography studio in Denver from 1886 to 1901. During the Festival of Mountain and Plain, Native Americans either came on their own or were invited to their studio to be photographed. This festival, held annually from 1895 through 1912 (and continuing today in a different form) was a weeklong celebration of parades, contests, balls, and ceremonies. A delegation of more than 100 Plains Indians set up tipis in City Park, and held ceremonies, dances, mock battles, and sporting events. This striking portrait shows Trucha Tafoya, who would be an Apache chief by 1907.
