The caption on the Cumberland County Historical Society's copy of the image identifies them as "Crows from the Crow Agency, Montana, who entered the Carlisle Indian School in 1890."

Previous cataloging for this image interprets part of the caption scratched on the plate as giving a date of 1897.

Note: Previous cataloging interpreted the handwritten caption as "[?] Connor and W. Johnson." The identification of these as George Conner (who was 19 years old on arrival in 1890) and William Johnson (for whom no age was given when he arrived in 1890) is preliminary.

Portrait of fifteen male students and seven female students posed on the steps of a brick building, presumably on the school grounds. They are identified in the Cumberland County Historical Society's copy of this image as being "Gros Ventres and Assiniboines, Ft. Belknap, Montana who entered Carlisle Aprl. 1890." 

Previous cataloging for this image interpreted the caption scratched onto the plate as saying that this group includes a Miss Prentiss, a teacher. We have been unable to locate any records referring to a teacher with that name and she is not mentioned in the CCHS caption. This caption also refers to the students as Assiniboine.

Studio portrait of fourteen male students and nine female students. The caption of the Cumberland County Historical Society identifies them as from the Apache nation and gives a date of 1891 for the image. Previous catloging for this version also says they are Apache students but says there is a date of 16 January 1892 in the caption.

Staff at the Cumberland County Historical Society have identified, based on comparison with other photgraphs, that the following students are in this group: Parker Whitney West, Ernest Hogee, Viola Zieh, Dorothy Dekhlikiseh, Naomi Merkel (Kohten), Janette Woods (Pahgostatum), Annette Suisson, Oswald Smith, Jason Betzinez, and Gail Marko.

Studio photo of thirteen male students. They are identified in the caption of the Cumberland County Historical Society copy of this image as being "Osage group, 1891."

A researcher at the Cumberland County Historical Society identified the students in their copy of this image as, top row, left to right: Claude Smith, Frank Penn, Amos Osage, Daniel McDougan; middle row, left to right: Elias Stanton, Harry Kophay, Richard Rusk, Ben Harrison, Fred Penn; bottom row, left to right: David Copperfield, George Conner, Amos Hamilton, Edgar McCarthy.

There is no Claude Smith in the school records from the Osage nation. Either this is Sioux student Claude Smith or it is Osage student Chester Smith.
