This photograph shows a group of American Indian delegates, lawmakers, and interpreters gathered on the South Grounds of the White House. During the 19th and 20th centuries, many American Indian delegations traveled to the White House to express the concerns and challenges of their people. However, their requests were frequently dismissed, as they faced pressures to concede their lands and assimilate into American society. The photograph is credited to the studio of Mathew Brady and was likely taken during the James Buchanan or Abraham Lincoln administrations.
