A close-up of two youths passing in front of the camera at a dance occasion holding clubs and a shield, one wearing strings of rem beads around the waist, and the other a single head plume decoration.
Beyond them across the dance space other youths can be seen moving as a group.
Dances were frequent events, which provided the main opportunity for youths and girls to socialise together.
