Studio portrait of Hope Blue Teeth, Cyrus Windy, Jennie Dubray, and Lizzie Dubray. 

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. 

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. 

Portrait of a large group of people, including band members and visitors, posed in a line in front of the band stand on the school grounds.

The Cumberland County Historical Society has two copies of this image: PA-CH1-086a and BS-CH-047. 

Studio portrait of teacher Alice M. Seabrook.

Studio portrait of an unidentified male student wearing a school uniform. 

A handwritten caption identifies this student as "Nephew of Red Cloud, Sioux." We have unable to verify which student this might have been. 

Studio portrait of a visitor to the school, presumably a chief. He is identified on the reverse as Roan Horse from the Apache nation. 

The Cumberland County Historical Society's version of this image identifies him as Ai-sia-tiw-me or Comanche John. 

Note: A researcher has indicated that Comanche John was actually Comanche, but that he had run away to Mescalero Apache in 1879.

Studio portrait of five male students, identified as (L to R): Percy Zadoka, Frank Everett, John Tatum, Harry Shirley, and Hortie Stevens.

View of the school grounds with a few students, showing the back of the teachers' quarters, the band stand, and the girls' quarters. 

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. 

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

Studio portrait of two men, seated in the center, wearing hats and white scarves, probably visitors, with five male students (one wearing a uniform), and a young girl. 

Image of a group of young men posed on a rocky outcropping in a heavily wooded vista. 

The young men look as if they may be Carlisle students. 

Studio portrait of Eustace Pelone. 

Note: Previous cataloging indicates part of the handwritten caption on the image says "March 1885." 

Studio portrait of Phillip White (Phillips Bob Tail). 

Note: Previous cataloging indicates the handwritten caption includes the date April 1885.

Students gathered in the dining hall for Christmas dinner. (Note the American flags stuck into the turkeys at the end of the tables.)

The caption on the back reads "Indian Students of Carlisle School at dinner, Christmas 1885."

View of the dining room decorated for Christmas with female student workers posed near the tables. 

The caption identifies it as "Christmas Dinner, Indian School, Carlisle, Pa." 

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.
