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.

Portrait of Richard Henry Pratt and the school's teachers posed on the school grounds.

Due to the presence of Dr. Obadiah Given, who worked at the school from 1884 to 1889, this image must have been taken during that period. Given is the man with the long beard sitting in front of Pratt.
