Description
A black-and-white photograph. The inscription in white ink at the bottom says 'Maj. Moorhouse and Wards' Umatilla Reservation. The number 5054 is written in the bottom left corner of the photo. Major Lee Moorhouse and two Native American children are seen in front of a tule-mat-and-canvas tipi. A wooden ladder leans against the right side of the tipi, along with some wooden poles. A striped blanket has been placed on the ground in front of the tipi, partly propped up by some unseen object, and two small children are on the blanket. The girl, who wears a scarf tied over her head, is sitting on the left side. She seems to be wearing a cloth shawl over a cloth dress. Standing to the right of her, next to Maj. Moorhouse, is a young boy, who appears to be wearing overalls topped with a dark cloth jacket missing all but the top button. His shoulder-length hair is cut in bangs. He wears European-style shoes or boots. Next to him squats the major in profile to the camera. His left hand is closest to the camera, and in it he holds the carcasse or hide of a small furry animal. The major wears a light-colored felt hat, a high-collar white shirt with a gingham patterned cravat, a vest, and striped wool trousers tucked into boots. He wears a buckskin jacket which is fringed at the seams and along the bottom and faced with fur. The front of the open jacket is also decorated with beadwork using floral motifs. Aside from a moustache, the major is clean-shaven. He is looking down towards the little boy. On the blanket in front of the children lies a semi-cylindrical basket with a geometric pattern woven in dark colors on a light background; the basket appears to have straps.

Description
"A black-and white photograph identified as Moorhouse residence, Pendleton. Seven adults stand on the front porch of the home, posed for a portrait with a baby who is perched on a pillow on the railing of the porch, next to one of its two columns. The baby is being supported by one of the men. There is some snow on the ground. The men wear hats and suits. Several of the women wear white blouses and long dark skirts; a couple others wear long dark dresses. The baby is all in white. The house is neo-Dutch Colonial in style. The clapboard walls of its lower story are painted white while the shingled second and third stories are a darker shade. Curtains can be seen behind the glass windows. In the foreground of the photograph is the wooden framework of a fence, filled in with chicken wire. Tall trees stand behind the fence, and they are nearly bare of leaves, giving a good view of two dormer windows on the second floor and a brick chimney at the right side of the roof. The porch and first floor are approached by a short wooden stair with white wooden railings. The house sits on a foundation of stones lined with white morter. In the background at the right of the photo can be seen a fence railing and behind it another light-colored wooden frame house with lacy details on the porch columns."
