Moon was a contemporary of Curtis who similarly documented Native American peoples and their traditional encampments through sepia toned photographic portraits and landscape compositions in the early 20th century. His work shares the same documentary reverence and expansive environmental framing seen in this Jicarilla camp scene.

Reed created carefully composed photographic studies of Native American peoples within their natural landscape settings, producing richly toned images that closely parallel the expansive scenic and documentary approach Curtis used in this Jicarilla camp scene. His work equally emphasizes traditional living patterns within grand Western environments.
