Group portrait of twelve male students, some wearing uniforms with "Carlisle," "Indians," or "Y.A." on them, posed with baseball equipment.

This is probably one of the informal baseball teams organized to play other school teams.

Group portrait of twenty-six male students and one white man, presumably a coach or advisor--the 1895 football team. 

See Cumberland County Historical Society image PA-CH1-084d (in Related Images) for a smaller group photo of the team and more information about those students who may be included.

Group portrait of sixteen male students from the 1895 football team. 

In his 1951 book, Fabulous Redmen, John Steckbeck identifies the sitters as: top row (l to r), Lone Wolf, McFarland, Smith, H. Pierce, and Nori; middle row (l to r), Redwater, Cayou, Metoxen, B. Pierce, Seneca and Printup; bottom row (l to r), Unidentified, Wheelock, Hudson, Miller, and Unidentified. Interestingly, some of these names do not appear on Steckbeck's roster for the 1895 team in the same book. The CCHS print of the image does not appear to be labeled so it is not clear what Steckbeck's identification is based on, presumably another copy of the image. 

See Cumberland County Historical Society image PA-CH3-093 (in Related Images) for a larger group of the same team.

Previous cataloging indicates the students are from the Cherokee nation and provides a date of March 1895.

Studio portrait of eleven male students, three Native American men, and one white man. The caption identifies them as from the Osage nation.

Studio portrait of Black Dog, an Osage chief, with two unidentified male students. 

Identification of Black Dog is based on comparison with other images. No caption information is available. Student newspapers reported that Black Dog visited the school for commenencement in March 1895, therefore this image has been assigned that date.

Studio portrait of Lillian A. Schanandore and Dollie Wheelock, both probably wearing school uniforms.

Note: Lillian A. Schanandore is probably the student known as Lillian Archiquette, who married John Schanandore and so was also known as Lillian A. Schanandore. However, a student named Lily Schanandore also attended the school. Both Lillian and Lily were there at the same time as Dollie Wheelock so it could be either one of them.
