Edward Sheriff Curtis is well known for producing the most extensive documentation of Native American culture of the twentieth century. <em>The North American Indian</em> (1907–1930), published in twenty bound books with accompanying oversize portfolios, included more than 2,000 photographic images and detailed written accounts of over 80 tribes. This photograph depicts a courting ritual in which a Cheyenne man would approach the tipi of the woman of his desires and lure her out for a walk. The blanket would then be wrapped around the couple to provide a private place to talk. The Minnesota Museum of American Art holds about 200 prints by Curtis, who was born in rural Wisconsin and apprenticed as a photographer in Saint Paul from 1885 to 1887.

Curtis provided text with the image to explain the content of the photograph: "At dusk in the neighborhood of the large encampments young men, closely wrapped in non-committal blankets or white cotton sheets, may be seen gliding about the tipis or standing motionless in the shadow of the trees, each one alert for the opportunity to steal a meeting with his sweetheart."
