A view of a dwelling site identified as "Billy Barnhart's camp on the Umatilla". At the left of the photo stands a canvas tipi supported by wooden poles. The ground it stands on, and that of the bluffs that rise up behind it and follow the line of the river, is dry with small scrubby bushes. At the extreme right edge of the picture, part of a wooden wagon wheel can be seen, and its dark shadow shows it is a sunny day. In the center of the picture, a few feet from the tipi, sit two figures wrapped in dark plaid blankets. They are sitting on the edge of the bluff above the Umatilla river, and to their right there seems to be a path that would lead over the edge of the bluff. They appear to be children, possibly girls, and the blankets cover almost all their clothing; just a bit of pant leg and moccasins are visible on the figure on the left. Both seem to have their hair in braids, and the person on the left has a long light-colored strip, possibly an eagle feather or ermine, hanging from the left braid. There is an animal hide or piece of buckskin, next to the wagon wheel in the foreground; it appears to be draped over a stick or an antler on the ground.
A Native American man, woman, and young girl stand in front of a tipi in a meadow of tall grasses in this stereographic photo. Spread out at their feet lie a couple of striped blankets. The child wears a dress of calico or printed cotton, and a necklace. The woman wears a long dark cloth dress with a light-coloured underdress or shirt beneath it. Around her waist is a belt. She holds a piece of cloth or hide in her left hand. She wears earrings, and her long braids hang down in front of her. The man's hair is pulled behind him. He wears earrings and some kind of hair ties or ornaments, as well as necklaces, one a choker. He wears a cloth shirt over a plaid blanket resembling a kilt, and a belt with a pouch. In his right hand he holds a book or box. In his left hand he holds the tip of an arrow, which has a light-colored feather. He seems to be clasping a bag to his left side with his arm. To the right of the tipi is a leafless tree. In the background, a low hill rises.
