This was found in my great grandmother's trunk. Is it her as a young girl? She was born in Calif. 1878. Her mother was half Native American and father was French. Can anyone shed any light? Thanks!

The mystery is described above. I would like to know if anyone may recognize this girl or place the approximate date. Any info would be great. Thanks.
