Notes

Abstract:

Seminole in foreground wears a hat decorated with ribbons. Shot at unidentified event, probably on Miami Beach. Photographer with camera on tripod in background. Chief Tiger Tail in center. -- Matlack's original caption. Matlack's log records date as December 25, 1922. Date is incorrect, since Jack Tiger Tail died on March 8, 1922. Other Matlack photographs (2424, 2426, 2427) were shot December 25, 1921.Beginning after the 1917 freeze, Mrs. Jack Tiger Tail and her family spent winters at Coppinger's Tropical Gardens. Whites, therefore, often called her husband, Jack Tiger Tail, a chief. His brother, Charlie Tiger Tail, might also be in this photograph. ( en )
