Portrait of male and female students posed on the steps of a building on the school grounds, with a white man standing at left. The caption on the Cumberland County Historical Society copy of this image states that they are "Piegan from Blackfeet Agency, Montana, entered Carlisle in November 1889 and March 1890." Previous cataloging for this copy interprets the caption as saying that these students arrived in November 1889 and that the date for this image is March 1890.

A student, wearing a hat and holding an axe or hatchet, standing in the courtyard of the workshops. 

The written caption says: "Andrew Brohme, an Apache Indian, 21 years old, learning to be a carpenter at the Indian School at Carlisle, Penn. June 10, 1890." 

It seems almost certain that this is student Matthew Broom, a member of the Apache Nation, who was at the school at this time and who would have been the right age, and whose student file says he was training in carpentry.
