Neat stuff and the three guys standing with bows..I have an old African bow and quiver full of poison arrows just like the bows in the picture..Its very old and a prize possession..along with some extremely well made OLD spears.

Ray, These are Ceylonese (natives of old Ceylon). The young fellow shouldering the swine, is a native of the Phillipines (Mindinaro?). The 3 men in the canyon bottom are Apache, as is the fellow using the shooting pole (I think).
There is some resemblance, I think. The above photo was dated 1910 ... the hunting group as a whole, certainly don't look much like native Siberians! A very interesting observation on your part!
