Three Native American men, wearing wool blankets over their clothing, stand inside an office or store. A hat rests at one man's feet. The image is overexposed.
A line of 20 men and women on horseback stand side-by-side, facing the camera. They are on a dirt street in front of several wooden buildings, including a livery stable. The riders are a mixture of men, women, Indians and non-Indians, and wear tribal clothing or cowboy attire.
On the Umatilla Indian Reservation at Thorn Hollow, a large long building with a long railroad platform is bordered by railroad tracks. Behind it is a large fenced compound containing two long buildings and a house. A large shed is to the left of the compound. A road bordered with utility poles intersects the railroad tracks. A road sign is visible. The compound is surrounded by trees and there are hills in the background.
Railroad tracks run in front of a wooded area identified as being near Cayuse Station, Thorn Hollow. Fences run along the railroad tracks and stop on either side of a railroad crossing. The crossing is left of center and has a white sign beside it. There are three tipis among the trees. On the right side of the photo is a wooden building. In between the right most tipi and the wooden building is a cage raised up off the ground on legs and another undetermined object on the ground. On the right half of the photo between the tipis and the railroad tracks is a cultivated area that could be a garden. Behind the tipis among the trees is a stream or river, and in the background are hills. The trees are both deciduous without leaves and conifers.
At the left is a large mound of smoking material identified as wheat. A group of people stand and sit in the background, one man sits in the foreground, and a man squats near the wheat in the middle distance. Three sets of railroad tracks lead from the foreground past the wheat and curve to the left in the distance. A water tower and small cabin stand on the right. Utility poles and lines parallel the tracks on the left. A hill is visible in the distance to the right.
A black and white photograph of an old Native American woman sitting on a wooden ladderback chair in front of the door of a wooden building. The door is shut and the doorknob and keyhole visible. The woman wears a gingham dress which buttons up the front, with a dark belt or tie around her waist which has a fringe at its end. There is a tear in the dress behind her right shoulder. Her graying hair hangs in front of her in skinny braids, and she wears a long necklace of large, rounded, dark and light beads. On her left knee she holds an openwork basket that has a zigzag design and possibly beading and a hank of wool or twine wrapped around its handle. On her right knee is a partly-woven item with its tangled ends hanging free.
A Native American woman identified as Miss Craig of the Umatilla tribe sits behind the wheel of an automobile. Her head is turned to face the photographer and she is wearing a dark scarf over her head. In the background on the left side of the photograph stand three white men dressed in suits and hats. The building in the background has signs in the windows that say "Dodge Brothers Motor Cars" and advertise for Goodrich. Miss Craig has put the folding windscreen of the car up, but the convertible top is down.
