A group of Native American men and women are gathered on a grassy plain. Some of the men are seated around a hide-covered drum. Headdresses, hats, and necklaces are worn by some of the men; they are also carrying various weapons and pipes. Two of the women are wearing shawls wrapped around their shoulders. A line of trees, a mountain, and a house are visible in the distance behind the people., Yakima's Nes-Perces and Umatilla's Preparing for War Dance. [Yakama, Nez Perce and Umatillas, posed in field.

An outside photograph of a large group of men, women and children kneeling as they observe a procession under a small canopy. The ends of the canopy are carried by four Native American men. Under the canopy are four European-American people--two men and two boys. One of the men is a priest, dressed in Catholic clerical garb. The other man has his torso wrapped in a white blanket or cape. The two boys are also dressed in religious garb. In the middle of the photograph is a band, with a drum and tuba or other large brass instrument. The band members are boys and men dressed in long, dark robes. One of the adult band members is wearing a crucifix. The adult band members apear to be European-American, while the boy band members are primarily Native American. The women to the right of the photograph are dressed in European-American clothing. There are two women behind the procession dressed entirely in white. Several of the women have their hands clasped and their heads tilted downward, as if in contemplation or prayer. Behind the wooden fence are numerous trees and a gently rising hillside.
An outside photograph of a large group of children -- boys and girls -- standing outside of a three-storey building. The structure has been identified as St. Andrews Roman Catholic mission school, and the children are, most likely, pupils of the school. To the far left of the photograph is a uniformed boy's band. Brass instruments and several drums can be seen. Standing behind the band are several men dressed in Euro-American clothing. Clustered in the middle are the girls. They appear to be grouped by age, with the youngest on the left and the older girl novices, many dressed in white and wearing a veil, on the right. Sitting on the ground in front of the girls are young boys. On the far right are the older boys, dressed in Euro-American clothing, and a priest wearing clerical garb. There are some women standing behind the girls and older boys. The school building exhibits 17 double-hung windows, one half-round window and three gable roof type dormers. There are two chimneys and a cross on the top. To the rear of the building is a smaller structure that may be attached. There is fencing behind the entire assemblage and in the background are rolling hills. The foreground shows patches of grass and dirt., [Pupils of St. Andrew's Roman Catholic mission school including uniformed novices and boys' band; Umatilla reservation]
