These have been identified as the Chiricahua Apache students who arrived at Carlisle from Fort Marion, Florida, November 4th, 1886, taken at an unknown later date.

Studio portrait of Ellen Hansel and her brother, Willie Hansel. Willie is wearing school uniform, and Ellen may be as well. 

Note: Previous cataloging indicates the handwritten caption on this plate says "Ellen Mansee and her brother." There is no student by that name, so the identification of the students in this image is a best guess.

Studio portrait of a student believed to be Oconame Howerame.

An apparently later handwritten note on a white label appears to read "Henry Acoyame." A name is written in faint, indecipherable handwriting along the side of the image. 

Note: There is no record of a student named Henry Acoyame. However, student Oconame Howerame has outing dates which match those of students identified in outing records as A-Co-Ya-Me and Oco-ya-me. Therefore, it seems likely that the handwritten note on this image is a misinterpreation of some variation of Oconame Howerame's name.
