- Reason
- Member of a Canadian First Nations secret society. The expression really catches one's attention, enough so to be worth working on a file a bit smaller than the usual fare (but still enough to meet FP criteria). Restored version of File:Hamatsa shaman.jpg.

- Support & Comment Can I safely assume this does not exist in color anywhere? _Nezzadar_☎_ 16:45, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- Considering the technology of 1914, yes. Durova326 18:06, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- Witty. Considering that I was unclear I'll rephrase. Any recent photos. Those would be in color. I'm sure the society still exists. _Nezzadar_☎_ 05:42, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- Oh dear, misunderstood you. There probably are more recent photographs. For historic ethnographic material, though, there's a value to working with historic photography. Even if it's staged, as here, it still gives clues about historic practices which may have changed in a century. Durova327 14:51, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- Still threw support behind it. It's just a damn great photo, a damn great one. Love the eyes. _Nezzadar_☎_ 03:04, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
