Studio portrait of Sowcea Kinery [?] and Samuel Keryte, both wearing school uniforms. Keryte is definitely the student standing at right.

Note: The identification of Kinery is a guess based on interpreting the handwritten caption, and the fact that he arrived on the same day as Keryte. Kinery was 14 at arrival and Keryte was 16.

Photograph of a photograph of Sun Chief (La-Roo-Chuk-A-La-Shur). The handwritten caption indicates he is from the Pawnee nation. 

Photographer J.N. Choate took a photograph of this image, presumably so that he could reproduce it and sell it himself. He may have taken the original, but he might not have. No other copies of this image have yet been found among the Carlisle-related images so it's possible Sun Chief was not a visitor to the school and has no connection to the school.
