Goldie Jamison Conklin was a Seneca tribeswoman from the early 1900s who was raised in the Allegheny reservation in New York. When she was older, she took up modeling for the Cattaraugus Cutlery Company to promote their Indian Brand of household items and knives. Her image was featured on postcard ads where she was seen wearing ceremonial garb to make it appear as though she was an aboriginal princess.
