Studio portrait of Jessie Bitter (left) and Jemima Two Elks (right). 

Studio portrait of a young man wearing school uniform. The handwritten caption reads something like "Odella," and so we believe it is either Odell La Fleur (Colville Nation) or Odellah Ahtley (Apache Nation). 

Studio portrait of John Tyler, Samuel Noble, Paul Good Bear, and Luke Bear Shield, all wearing school uniforms.

A composite of different Carlisle Indian School images from around 1890.

Studio portrait of Paul Good Bear (standing) with Thomas W. Potter (seated). 

Note: Potter was employed first as a teacher at the school from Oct. 1889 to Jan. 1890, and then as storekeeper from Feb. to Apr. 1890. 

Studio portrait of Chapo Geronimo and an unidentified young man, both with decorative beaded canes. 

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

Studio portrait of Robert Tome [?] in school uniform.

Note: This student was previous identified as Robert Thomas. There are no records of a student with that name so it seems likely that he is Robert Tome. 

Studio portrait of thirteen unidentified female students.

Note: Previous cataloging states the handwritten caption says they are from the La Pointe reservation. 

Studio portrait of an unidentified male student.

Studio portrait of Norman Casadore (standing) and Stephen Smith (sitting).

Studio portrait of Daniel Jackson.

Studio portrait of Rosa Bourassa. A handwritten caption along the side of the image probably reads: Rose Baunassa.

Studio portrait of William Carefelle wearing school uniform.

Studio portrait of six unidentified male students. 

Previous cataloging identifies them as members of the Blackfoot nation, presumably from information in the caption. 

Studio portrait of Sarah Walker. 

Note: In the Descriptive Statement of Pupils from Omaha and Winnebago Agency, September 19, 1890, a check mark appears next to the entry for Sarah Walker. Sarah Walker is the only student listed on this document who is not also listed in the admissions ledger, so it seems likely that, for whatever reason, Sarah Walker did not actually enroll at Carlisle.

Studio portrait of six visiting Sioux chiefs with six male students. 

The Cumberland County Historical Society has another copy of this image and they have made the folowing identifications based on comparison with other photos: back row, second from the left, Chauncey Yellow Robe, third from the left, Horn Pipe; middle row, from left to right, Quick Bear, High Hawk, He Dog, Hollow Horn Bear, and Good Voice. 

Previous cataloging interprets the handwritten caption for this image as containing the name Charles Smith. A Sioux student named Charles Smith did attend the school, overlapping with Chauncey Yellow Robe. He may be one of the other students here.
