Studio portrait of Annie Coodlalook (far left), Tomiclock (second from left), Laublock (standing in center), Anna Buck (second from right), Cooki Glook (far right), and Esenetuck (seated in front). All are wearing clocks with fur-timmed hoods. This photo seems to have been taken shortly after their arrival at the school in November, 1897.
