Council in Bitterroot Valley July 1855
Watercolor painting on heavy paper. The image is a horizontal oval shape. A large group of Native Americans are seated on the ground in rows, facing an arbor made of poles with leafy branches over the top. Several Euro-American men are seated or standing under the shelter, one appears to be Isaac Stevens. There is a U.S. flag on a tall pole next to the shelter. Around the edge of the group are a tipi, several military tents, and some evergreen trees. There are forested hills in the background. By Gustav Sohon.
