Studio portrait of seventeen female students, all wearing school uniforms.

The caption on the Cumberland County Historical Society's copy of this image, written on the album page, identifies them as being from the Pueblo nation. 

In another copy of this image, made by Dickinson College from an original owned by Bob Rowe, the description (see Related Images) there is a typed caption that reads "The same Pueblo girls as seen in the photograph above, six months after arrival at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School." The "photograph above" was taken when they entered in August 1884. 

Studio portrait of Owen Fire and Festus Pelone, both wearing school uniforms and holding straw boater hats. 

Studio portrait of ten unidentified female students. All are wearing school uniforms; one, a much younger girl, is wearing a white pinafore over her uniform.

Note: In previous cataloging the handwritten caption says the students are from the Rosebud reservation in South Dakota.

View of the campus grounds with the band stand and people, possibly visitors. 

Group portrait of eighteen male students, dressed similarly and wearing baseball caps, one posed with a bat, taken on the school grounds. 

This is probably one of the many teams that played each other within the school. 

Studio portrait of an unidentified male student. The name in the handwritten caption looks like Parnell but there is no student with a name similar to that from the time this image was taken. 

A view of students on the school grounds, some are in uniform, some are not. The male students are in the foreground, female students are in the distance. Some of the male students are standing, some are lying on the ground.

Studio portrait of two male students in uniforms with two older men and two women, presumably their parents or relatives. 

Previous cataloging from the National Anthropological Archives had interpreted the handwritten caption as reading "Thomas Dummick and Joseph St. Clair" and had identified all the sitters as "non-native." However, these do appear to be students in their school uniforms and there is no apparent reason not to think that they are Indian students and these are their families.

Formation of students on the northeastern end of the school grounds, near the enclosing fence with a farm in the distance. They are all male students in uniform, in rows with the band in the front. The location seems to be roughly where the athletic field was later laid out, to the east of the industrial workshops.

View of the dining hall at the school, all tables filled by students. Male and female students are seated on opposite sides of the tables. There are a few adult white people standing at right.

There are currently no known prints of this photograph.
