This reminds me of A Million ways to Die in the West where someone has a photograph of someone smiling and no one can believe it

I’ve always liked this picture a lot. Not only is it old school cool and documentation of an important piece of American history, but it’s also one of the few older pictures where the subject is actually smiling!

She looks very modern for a picture over 130 years old.

Elk only have two canines that are used for these dresses. This woman is held in high esteem to have a dress decorated with so many teeth.
