Cree Native American Indian Mustatem Moutiapic Horse Roots 1910s Postcard

This postcard was produced during the 1910s and features a Cree subject identified as Mustatem Moutiapic, also called Horse Roots, posed on horseback in a Plains setting.

Postcards depicting Native American individuals from this era were often staged portraits that combined ethnographic labeling with scenic backdrops, reflecting both documentation and commercial presentation. These images circulated widely and today serve as visual records of dress, naming conventions, and representational practices tied to early twentieth-century publishing.

The image shows the rider seated on a horse against an open landscape, wearing traditional clothing with patterned elements and holding a staff or spear. A printed caption at the top identifies the individual by name and tribal affiliation, anchoring the card within a descriptive series format typical of the period.
