This man has donned an elaborate, and somewhat fanciful, Native American costume for a presentation at the fiftieth anniversary celebration of the Conservation Department. The celebration commemorates the fifty year anniversary of the law which established the Forest Commission, the ancestor of the Conservation Department, as well as the Adirondack Forest Preserve. This image was created to record the festivities sponsored by the Conservation Department commemorating the anniversary.
