It is a good day for trade as a warm Septmember sun adds to the genial quality of this Plains gathering. From the early 19th centruy to the 1870s, trade for furs and hides was a lucrative business. Traders and bands of Plains Tribes would gather at prearranged locations and exhange tools, cloth, blankets, finery and guns for the Indians' pelts and hides. This group fo Indians is well known to the traders, as the chief trader has been married tot he sister of this band's chief for several years. Other members of the trading party have Indian wives as well, so a familial atmosphere of mutual trust and friendship prevails.

At the 2009 Masters of the American West Fine Art Exhibition and Sale, where it set a record sale price for a Liang original, the work received the David P. Usher Patrons' Choice Award.
