A fresh snowfall. Two tipis stand together at the edge of a field. A barbed-wire fence runs along the right side of the picture, and extends up a hill. Two small structures stand near the tipis, one close on the right, one further away on the left.
A stream, some utility poles, railroad tracks, and fences cross a small valley. The valley has deciduous trees that don't have their leaves and a few conifers. Hills are in the background and the photo seems to be taken from above the valley. In the right foreground of the photo stands a tipi. In the middle to the far left is another tipi. There is a third tipi in the middle of the photo which stands to the right of the other tipi. This one is almost completely obscured by trees. The tipis in the middle of the photo both have a smaller wooden structure next to them. The words "Thorn Hollow" and some other indistinguishable words are written in the bottom left of the photo.
A landscape shot, showing a canvas tipi in a clearing in front of a woodsy area (deciduous without leaves and conifers) and a small pond or creek. In the background is a hill or mountain.
A Native American family of three is posing in front of a tipi for pictures being taken by a white man. The Native American woman is in a separate pose on a blanket with another blanket wrapped around her. A small dog is behind her. The Native American man holding the child seems to be the subject being currently photographed. Behind the tipi there is corral for two horses and shed within the fenced area of the corral. Near the right hand side of the tipi there is a mound covered by a blanket with a pot or basket near by. The Native American male is wearing a cowboy hat and boots with a blanket overcovering. In the far background to the left of the photo are hills and telegraph or telephone poles.
Railroad tracks lead through a meadow towards a low bluff. In the background are hills and mountains. There are fences on both sides of the tracks. On the left side, behind the fence, several tipis and a shed stand in a meadow dotted with conifers and leafless deciduous trees, and trees can be seen at intervals in the distance. The place is identified as "Near Thorn Hollow, Oregon".
A view looking down the railroad tracks belonging to the Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation Company. The tracks curve to the center of the photo, leading the eye to a low hill covered with snow far in the distance. Closer at hand, the tracks pass by the bare branches of deciduous trees, telegraph poles, and a few tall evergreens on the right as they enter a gap between two hills. Fences are visible a few feet away from the rails on both sides. On the left side of the picture, beyond the fence, stand two tipis under large bare-branched trees.
The scene has been identified as "camps on the Umatilla Indian Reservation". About ten tipis are visible, most made of canvas. They stand on a wide plain; low hills, some with scrub and bushes, rise up in the background, and heavy clouds hang low over the scene. A few figures of people, horses, a laden wagon, and at least one automobile can be seen near the tipis.
A tipi stands in front of a tall deciduous tree. It is among brush and grasses and hills are in the background. In the far right of the photo the edge of another tipi can be seen.
