Description: A dusty two-lane road leads past a small church, partially obscured by its manse, a two-story clapboard house with porches and a gambrel roof. The church, identified as Presbyterian, is two stories in height with a bell tower at one corner. It too seems to be built of clapboard, and has arched windows with leaded panes visible. The yard of the church and manse is surrounded by a wire fence supported by wooden posts; a wheel hoe sits nearby. Young trees have been planted near the church. In the background can be seen open land with some scattered groves of trees, and a low mountain range stretches behind.

Description: A group of men, women, and children, identified as the congregation of the Indian Presbyterian Church of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, are posing in front of a church. The group includes Native American men, Native American women, Native American children, European American men, European American women, and European American children. Everyone is garbed in Euro-American clothing. Some of the men and male children are wearing hats. All but one of the Native American women are wearing shawls around their shoulders and scarves atop their heads. Two European American women are kneeling behind a group of children. Everyone else is standing. A few individuals are standing outside the door of the church. The church, which appears to be of wooden construction, has three windows on one side and one window on the only other visible side. A steeple is above the door of the church. A chimney is on the right front end of the roof. A tipi is in the background.
