Description: 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.

Description: 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.

Description: 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".

Description: 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.

Description: 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.

Description: 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.
