![American Horse [?] and Richard Henry Pratt with a large group of students [version 1], 1897](/sites/default/files/styles/views_image/public/image-photo/NAA_74361.jpg?itok=p5illfFf "American Horse [?] and Richard Henry Pratt with a large group of students [version 1], 1897")
Portrait of a visting chief shaking hands with Richard Henry Pratt posed on the school grounds with a group of thirteen female students and seventeen male students. A white woman, probably a teacher, with a parasol or umbrella can be seen in the background near a school building.
Previous cataloging, presumably interpreting caption information scratched on the plate, indicates the chief is American Horse and the date is 1897.
