| Title | Cadina Chenewith and an unidentified woman, ca. 1900 |
| Photographer | Rutter, Thomas H. |
| Studio Location | United States--Washington (State)--Yakima |
| Date | ca. 1900 |
| Notes | Two Plateau women pose for their portrait in an early Yakima-area photographer's studio. The seated woman is identified as Cadina Chenewith (1875-1940), daughter of Young Chief Chenewith of the Mid-Columbia and Cascade Tribes. Her companion holds a beaded bag, a popular item among Plateau Indians at this time.
The Yakama, Nez Perce, Spokane, and other Plateau tribes of Washington state live east of the Cascade Range in the area drained by the Columbia River.
Thomas H. Rutter, a British veterinarian, came to the United States from Australia in the late 1860s. After photographing in Montana in the 1870s and 1880s, and Tacoma, Washington, in the 1890s, Rutter opened a studio in North Yakima (now Yakima). He retired around 1906 and died in 1925. (Steven L.
