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 the 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.

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.

At the present time we have identified no other images of Grace Bigheart to use for comparison.

Portrait of a very large group of male and female students, assembled in rows on the school grounds. The caption for this copy of the image and the copy at the Cumberland County Historical Society both identify this as the student body of the school in 1884. The caption on the Historical Society copy says there are 375 students in the group. 

Studio portrait of three male students and four female students. The caption identifies them as being from the Pueblo nation.

Studio portrait of a visiting chief. 

The Cumberland County Historical Society has two copies of this image. This person is identified as "Apache, N.M." in the album (PA-CH1-092b) and as "Augustine" in BS-CH-004.

Studio portrait of Juan Julian, probably a visiting chief. 

This person is identified as Juan Julian in the National Anthropological Archives negative version of this image and also in one of the Cumberland County Historical Society's copies (BS-CH-006). The other copy, located in an album (PA-CH2-075b), is labeled "Augustine." But that is probably a mistake. There are other photographs of a person with that name, wearing similar clothing but distinctly a different person.
