This is an odd photo from 1924. It’s clearly a staged shot of a Native American posing with his bow and arrow in Rock Creek Park.

Actually, there is no arrow in photo. The boy is just pulling the bowstring. And he doesn’t look very Native American, either. Would love to see the text accompanying this photo
