A Native American man, identified as Wanico of the Umatilla tribe, is standing outside in front of a cloth backdrop. He is wearing a Euro-American shirt, a wide-brim hat, a vest, a scarf, boots, and woolly chaps. His hair is tied into two braids. He is holding a bow in his left hand and has a knife tucked into the waistband of his chaps. There are garden plants within the man's immediate vicinity. A lattice-work fence is on the left. A house and tree are visible in the background.
A Native-American woman lies on a bed, covered by a blanket. Her hair is in braids. The wall behind her is covered with baskets, bags, a model canoe, and artwork. On the floor around the bed are more baskets, antlers, a stone mortar with several pestles, and a pistol.
Victor William of the Cayuse tribe stands in front of a tipi, gazing slightly down and to his left. He wears a collarless cloth shirt and is wrapped in a geometrically-patterned blanket which hides all but his right shoulder and arm. His left arm pulls the blanket across his body so that it wraps around him thoroughly and no other details of costume or footgear can be seen. His long dark hair is unbound and is parted on the left side and pulled around to hang in front of his right shoulder. To his right stands a child, with bare legs and feet, and hair that is either short or pulled back. The child wears a knee-length dress. The child is holding a length of ribbon, lace, or some other gauzy material which trails on the ground; she smiles as she looks down at it in her hands. In the background of the photo a line of fenceposts behind the tipi leads off to the distance. Farther away across the flat land in the far distance is a line of mountains.
A Native American women, identified as Eat-no-meat and a member of the Cayuse Tribe, is standing outside in front of a blanket. She is wearing a Euro-American style dress, a necklace, a leather belt, earrings, and a blanket wrapped around her shoulders. Her hair has been tied into braids. She is carrying a bag in her left hand. The name is probably a translation of her Indian name; tribal members are attempting to verify her name.
Looking out from under a vegetation-covered arbor. In a large open space, two Native-American men sit on horseback, facing left. Standing behind them is a Native-American wearing a flat hat, with a bundle or perhaps cradleboard behind. In the background four tipis stand in a grove of trees. The image appears to be a photograph of a stereograph.
A Native-American man wearing Euro-American clothing sits on a horse, facing right. Behind him is a tipi with a pile of blankets to the right. Several branches are on the left, trees and shrubs are behind, and in the distance is a mountain range.
Fourteen Native American men on horeback are riding through an encampment. All are wearing some sort of headdress and tribal costume. Some are carrying staffs with feather adornment. The horses have beaded harnesses. They are riding through a meadow edged by a line of trees where people stand watching. There are five tipis spaced along the tree line on the meadow. On the opposite side of the photo is a photographer dressed in European-American clothing and a camera. Some of the people watching are wearing cowboy hats and are wrapped in blankets.

A Native American woman, possibly misidentified as Rosa Paul of the Cayuse or Walla tribe, stands in front of a tipi, facing the left side of the picture. She is wearing a basket hat and a long fringed dress decorated across the shoulders with geometric designs. At her left side is a woven bag decorated with a stylized tree and birds. On her back is a cradleboard wrapped in a piece of spotted cloth. Behind Rosa Paul is a gate or fence made of brush and poles. In the foreground is a broom. The tipi is tall and made of poles leaned together like a tipi. It is covered with woven mats. The doorway is covered by a piece of cloth. Much of what she is wearing are photographer's props.
A Native American boy, identified as Pope Leo White Bull of the Cayuse tribe and the Umatilla tribe, stands on a blanket in front of a backdrop.

On the blanket at the boy's feet are eagle feathers and an object that is possibly a fan.
