![Six Alaskan students aboard a ship [version 1], 1897](/sites/default/files/styles/views_image/public/image-photo/NAA_73570.jpg?itok=jUbkNRry "Six Alaskan students aboard a ship [version 1], 1897")
Six Alaskan students posed on the deck of a ship, presumably taken on their journey to Carlisle. They are (from left to right) Annie Coodlalook, Cooki Glook, Anna Buck, Esenetuck, Tomiclock, and Laublock. All are wearing cloaks with fur-lined hoods.
Although this negative was included among photographer J.N. Choate's images, he could not have been present aboard the ship that brought these students from Alaska. The original photographer is unknown.

![American Horse [?] and Richard Henry Pratt with a large group of students [version 1], 1897](/sites/default/files/styles/views_image/public/image-photo/NAA_74361.jpg?itok=p5illfFf "American Horse [?] and Richard Henry Pratt with a large group of students [version 1], 1897")
Portrait of a visting chief shaking hands with Richard Henry Pratt posed on the school grounds with a group of thirteen female students and seventeen male students. A white woman, probably a teacher, with a parasol or umbrella can be seen in the background near a school building.
Previous cataloging, presumably interpreting caption information scratched on the plate, indicates the chief is American Horse and the date is 1897.
