This leader of the Jicarilla Apache Nation took the name Chief James Garfield after receiving a peace medal from President Garfield, and he later adopted the surname Velarde. In this studio portrait—taken twelve years after his people were relocated to a reservation—he wears a mix of Euro-American clothing and Native regalia: a white collared shirt and a waistcoat, a fur sash decorated with conchos, shell ear ornaments, and a shell necklace.
