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.
