Cameo photographs of seventeen Sioux chiefs, all of whom visited the school in mid-February 1891 and presumably had these portrait photos taken by John N. Choate. The grouping is titled "Noted Indians" and has a copyright date of 1891. Each chief is identified by a white tag applied to his lapel. They are identified as: 

Top row, left to right: Spotted Elk, Hollow Horn Bears, Big Road

Second row, left to right: Spotted Horse, Little Wound, Fire Thunder, Grass

Third row, left to right: High Hawk, Good Voice, High Pipe

Fourth row, left to right: Fire Lightening, Quick Bear, American Horse, He Dog (Pine Ridge Agency) 

Bottom row, left to right: Young Man Afraid of His Horses, Two Strikes, He Dog (Rosebud Agency). 

The Cumberland County Historical Society has two copies of this image: PA-CH2-023 and 12-10-01.

Studio portrait of eleven unidentified male students and two unidentified female students. 

Previous cataloging indicates the students are from the Osage nation and provides a date of 1891 for this image. George Conner is seated right in the center of the photo, and Amos Hamilton appears standing, third male student from the left.

Studio portrait of George Conner (seated at right) and William Johnson [?] (probably standing at left). Both are wearing school uniforms.

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.

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.

Portrait of a baseball team with "Indians" on the front of their uniforms, with white coach or teacher in center. The handwritten caption in the album identifies them as the Union Reserve baseball team. 

The caption written below the image identifies the sitters as: back row, Frank Everett and Charles Damon; middle row, Josiah Powlas, Jonas Place, Mr. Goodyear, Levi St. Cyr, and Joseph Harris; front row, Harry Hutchinson, Harry Kohpay, Morgan Toprock, and Henry Froman. (Note there are no records for a student named Henry Froman, therefore we believe this is William Froman.) 

The Cumberland County Historical Society relied upon Josiah Powlas for the dating of this photograph as c.1891. Two of the sitters left the school in July 1891, so that date is likely.

Studio portrait of a visiting chief, identified by the applied name tag as Fire Lightning. 

Note: An image of this chief is included in the composite group of visiting Sioux chiefs (linked to in Related Images) but there his attached name tag identifies him as Fire Thunder. There is another individual portrait of visiting chief, and in it he is identified in his name tag as Fast Thunder but in the composite he is identified as Fire Lightning. We do not currently know which of these identifications is correct.

The Cumberland County Historical Society relied upon Josiah Powlas for the dating of this photograph as c.1891. Two of the sitters left the school in July 1891, so that date is possible.  However, the National Anthropological Archives version of the image identified a date of 1892.
