Description by Edward Curtis: Double Runner's is an excellent type of the Piegan physiognomy, as well as the ideal North American Indian as pictured by the average person. The native name of this individual is Ahjutomahka.
Piegan Men and women wore the typical deerskin clothing worn by most plains Indians with ornamentation made from porcupine-quills and with beads, made from silver-berry seeds. This man has long beautiful wavy hair and is dressed in patterned clothing. Adorned with jewelry he looks like an important man.
"The Piegan, the Bloods, and the Blackfeet are closely related and allied Algonquian tribes, and have usually been designated collectively as Blackfeet."
