Can I offer a corrective? The man presented in the photo, while he is William Bradby, was a member of the Pamunkey Tribe, not Mattaponi, and the regalia in which he is depicted is not traditional, but something the Pamunkey men more or less dreamed up for the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. Tribemen wore similar outfits at public events throughout the rest of the 19th century. Valideyes 15:56, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
