Photograph of a double image of a studio portrait of Wounded Yellow Robe (also known as Richard Yellow Robe), Henry Standing Bear, Chauncey Yellow Robe (Timber Yellow Robe) taken shortly after their arrival, wearing native clothing. Wounded Yellow Robe is seated at left, Henry standing bear is seated in the middle, and Chauncey Yellow Robe is seated at right. In the more commonly seen version of this grouping [seen in version 1 and 2], Henry Standing Bear is standing rather than seated. 

Studio portrait of Wounded Yellow Robe (also known as Richard Yellow Robe), Chauncey Yellow Robe (also known as Timber Yellow Robe), and Henry Standing Bear on November 15, 1883.

Portrait of twenty-five female students posed on the school grounds, some in native clothing. One of the students appears to be Rose White Thunder who arrived on November 14, 1883 with a large group from the Sioux nation (Rosebud reservation).

Portrait of twenty-four female students, many wrapped in plaid shawls or blankets, posed on the steps of a building on the school grounds. 

There may be another student at the far right of the bottom right; if there is, then there are twenty-five students in the picture. 

Studio portrait of Grace Bigheart [?].

Note: The caption of this image identifies this student as "Grace Que, Osage." There are no records for a student named Grace Que. The only Osage student named Grace who attended while Choate was taking photographs was Grace Bigheart. At the present time we have identified no other images of Grace Bigheart to use for comparison.

Studio portrait of James H. Miller, Jane Vane, an unidentified female student and a visitor, probably a Pueblo chief or family member. 

Note: The male student was previously identified as Benjamin Thomas based on cataloging of this NAA negative. A researcher suggested that he is actually James H. Miller. The identification of Jane Vane comes from an annotation on the Cumberland County Historical Society's album copy.
