From "The North American Indian (1907-1930) v.16, The Tiwa. The Keres." Original photogravure produced in Norwood, Mass. by Plimpton Press. Curtis Caption, "The Buffalo dance of the Keres is almost exactly the same as that of the Tewa. The performers are two young men with head-dresses of buffalo-hair and horns, and a girl wearing the usual female costume and a pair of small horns. The head of the hunters' society plays the part of guard. The dance is very strenuous, and the simulated actions of t he buffalo are quite realistic and readily comprehended by the spectator."
