This photogravure by Edward Curtis depicts a warrior of the Klamath tribe with a long headdress and traditional clothing (deerskin suit). The warrior is looking off into the beautiful Crater Lake located in southern Oregon. The tribe may have witnessed Crater Lake’s beginning, as a violent volcanic eruption created the beautiful scene. The lake is a park of a national park today and is the deepest in the United States.
