Although the photographers did not identify this couple or the location, it is possible that they are Suquamish, waiting in Seattle's federal courthouse. At approximately the same time, a group of Suquamish were photographed at Seattle's Colman Dock returning to the Port Madison Reservation, on Bainbridge Island, after trying to collect payments for land sold to the government.
