An outside photograph of the Umatilla River. The river flows in a zig-zag pattern between two embankments and enters the photograph from behind the left embankment. The left embankment appears on the photograph at a high angle and gradually decends into flat terrain that runs into the river. The embankment and terrain display both cluster and single conifers, wild grasses, and dirt.

A view of a one-room log cabin identified as the "office of the U.S. Indian Agent Umatilla Agency erected in 1863". The cabin appears to stand on a small rise; deciduous trees are visible off to the left, and grass and low shrubs behind. In the background is a view of a river and distant shore. The cabin is built of rough-hewn logs, slightly notched, with chinking. Some of the chinking between the logs has chipped away in some spots. The roof is constructed of wooden shingles, some of which appear to be peeling or flaking. The cabin looks as though it has been modified from an earlier state: there is a heap of rock at the gable end, in front of an opening now blocked with boards. The roof at that end has a gap left, as though for a chimney; it seems likely the remains of the chimney are the rocks on the ground. The door too may have been modified; in the photo the door jambs are wide boards nailed over logs, rather than fitted in with them. The door now takes up half the long side of the cabin, and is ill-fitting, with two wide doors with hinges that open outward and wide gaps under both doors. Two long poles protrude from under and between the doors. At the right side of the cabin two metal rings have been driven into one of the logs, and a chain hangs from one of them.

She wears a number of metal bangle bracelets and what looks like a brass arm band. In her left hand she holds the string to a geometrically-beaded rectangular bag which has circular shapes made of up joined triangles, dark shapes on light bag. Over her shoulders runs a striped band which is attached to the cradleboard she wears on her back. Although the design cannot be seen clearly in this photo, what can be seen resembles almost exactly similar photos of cradleboards with bold floral designs. Attached to the cradleboard is a dark geometrically-decorated piece of cloth or blanket which acts as a hood for the baby. All that can be seen of the baby is the right side of its head, as the rest is engulfed in the bag of the cradleboard. The tipi a few yards behind her seems to be covered with woven mats, and has several long poles on the outside as well as the inside framework. Leaning upright against it are several boards and branches. Close behind is a line of low trees or high bushes, and to the right of the photo a criss-cross of lines that might be from a fence or other structure. The woman's pose is upright and self-assured as she gestures.
Two Native American women, identified as Mrs. Black and Stella Williams of the Cayuse tribe, are posing outside in front of a cloth backdrop. The woman on the left is seated on a Pendleton blanket. She is wearing a scarf over her head and a blanket around her body. The hem of a Euro-American dress or skirt is visible underneath the blanket. The woman on the right is standing. She is wearing a necklace, a choker, earrings, a native dress, a belt, and moccasins. Her hair is tied into two braids. With both of her hands, she is holding a bag with a beaded, geometric design.
A Native American man, identified as Chief No-Shirt of the Walla Walla Tribe, is sitting on a horse in a grass field. An encampment, consisting of tipis, wagons, and horses, appears in the background. The man is wearing a feathered headdress, necklaces, a sash, and a cloth shirt. He is clasping a brush in his right hand. His right cheek bears a marking that appears to have been painted on his face. The horse is adorned with saddle blankets, furs, and other trappings.
