Description	Photograph of men performing the "Ta-ta-Wheela" Indian Dance at Fiesta Park during La Fiesta de Los Angeles, ca.1897. A circle of men and women stand on what appears to be a racetrack. The men are shirtless and have used their hands to paint designs on their bodies. Some of them wear thermal underwear. All of the participants wear headdresses. The women wear what appear to be floral-patterned westernized dresses. A man stands in the back of the circle, dressed in a trench coat and hat. Several other individuals can be seen hauling equipment in the distance. Houses are visible behind the bleachers in the background. Picture file card reads: "Grand Avenue and Flower Street".
