Studio portrait of Geneva Jamison.
Note: Two students named Geneva Jamison attended Carlisle, both from the Seneca nation. This image is probably of the Geneva Jamison who arrived in 1898 and departed in 1901. She is sometimes known as Geneva B. Jamison and was 11 years old when she enrolled. Since the other Geneva Jamison arrived in 1895 and departed in 1898, a date has been assigned to this image that accomodates them both.

Studio portrait of three male students and four female students posed around a staircase prop.
The handwritten caption on the back of this photo identifies the students as "the last delegation of Pueblos." They were certainly were not the final delegation, and that would probably have been clear whenever the photo was taken, so it's likely what was intended was that they were the most recent delegation.
