Portrait of twenty-two students-fifteen male and seven female students--posed on the steps of the academic building. The caption says that they are "Gros Ventres and Assiniboines, Ft. Belknap, Montana who entered Carlisle, Apr. 1890." This photo was likely taken in May or June of that year.

Portrait of fifteen male students and seven female students posed on the steps of the academic building. 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 Apr. 1890." This photo was likely taken in May or June of that year.

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. 

The handwritten note on the reverse side reads: Albert Sitting Eagle, Wanbetiyotanki, Aug. 13, 1891.
