Photograph of a photograph of Sun Chief (La-Roo-Chuk-A-La-Shur). The handwritten caption indicates he is from the Pawnee nation. 

Photographer J.N. Choate took a photograph of this image, presumably so that he could reproduce it and sell it himself. He may have taken the original, but he might not have. No other copies of this image have yet been found among the Carlisle-related images so it's possible Sun Chief was not a visitor to the school and has no connection to the school. 

Studio portrait of Alex Manabove and Little Chief, one wearing a star-shaped pin. 

Note: If the interpretation of the handwritten caption is correct, it is not clear who Little Chief is. There was a student named Little Chief, but he left the school in 1880. This photograph may document a later visit of a Cheyenne chief named Little Chief (documented in the student newspaper).

Note: This is probably James Y. Miller.
