Description: A Native American man, identified as Lazy Dog of the Umatilla tribe, is seated outside on a white horse. The man is wearing a cowboy hat with feathers tucked into the hat band. He is wearing Euro-American clothing. He is grasping the reins with his right hand. His feet are resting in the stirrups. A saddle blanket and sattle bags are on the horse. A tipi is behind and to the right of the man. A dog is near its entrance. A row of cottonwood trees is behind the man and the tipi. A treeless prairie with softly rolling hills is in the background.

Description: A view of a Native American encampment, identified as being at Cayuse Station on the Umatilla Indian Reservation on July 4, 1909. The foreground of the photo shows grass with some branches lying on it. To the right is a long trench, behind which can be seen eight tipis. In the middle ground a trail bisects the encampment. Beyond it are a tent, and at least four more canvas tipis and the skeleton of another. On the trail at the far right is a buggy. A number of horses, some with saddlebags, are at the side of the trail. Beyond the skeleton tipi is another group of horses, and a person with his back to the camera, who may be wearing a pack or may be a woman with an infant in a cradleboard. Farther in the background another figure stands in front of more horses. Standing on the trail to the left, in front of a tipi, is a man wearing a broad-brimmed hat and a blanket and trousers. He also has his back to the camera. Behind the encampment runs a row of deciduous trees. It looks as though there may be a wooden structure behind the trees. A low mountain range is in the background.
