Description
A view of a Native American encampment on the Umatilla Indian Reservation, taken July 4, 1902. Two rows of tipis, most made of canvas, are set up on a field covered with grass and low bushes. The area around the tipis is enclosed with a fence, which is visible in the foreground. Behind them is a dense wood. Low mountains are in the background. The figures of horses and people can be seen amongst the tipis, along with one or two wagons. There is another group of animals within the enclosure, standing away from the groups of horses, that might be two sheep grazing together. At the extreme left of the photo is a covered shelter or some type of open wooden structure.

Two tipis stand in front of deciduous trees that have no leaves. Behind the trees is a hill. The tipi on the left has smoke coming out of the top.

To the right of the tipi on the right is another light-colored horse. This horse has a bridle and horse blanket. There are also other objects on the horse's back that are perhaps hides. In between the horse and the tipi is a pile of hides.

Umatilla indian agency, erected 1863, log building
Description
A view of a one-room log cabin identified as the "office of the U.S. Indian Agent Umatilla Agency erected in 1863". The cabin appears to stand on a small rise; deciduous trees are visible off to the left, and grass and low shrubs behind. In the background is a view of a river and distant shore. The cabin is built of rough-hewn logs, slightly notched, with chinking. Some of the chinking between the logs has chipped away in some spots. The roof is constructed of wooden shingles, some of which appear to be peeling or flaking. The cabin looks as though it has been modified from an earlier state: there is a heap of rock at the gable end, in front of an opening now blocked with boards. The roof at that end has a gap left, as though for a chimney; it seems likely the remains of the chimney are the rocks on the ground. The door too may have been modified; in the photo the door jambs are wide boards nailed over logs, rather than fitted in with them. The door now takes up half the long side of the cabin, and is ill-fitting, with two wide doors with hinges that open outward and wide gaps under both doors. Two long poles protrude from under and between the doors. At the right side of the cabin two metal rings have been driven into one of the logs, and a chain hangs from one of them.

Indian camps, Umatilla Indian Reservation, July, 4, 1902
Description
A view of a Native American encampment on the Umatilla Indian Reservation, taken July 4, 1902. About 20 tipis are set up in a line along a low rise of ground. There seems to be water in a little wash behind them, and a river in the background, with low bluffs rising up from it. To the right of the photo are some trees, and in the foreground several discarded cans. A small dog or cat ambles in front of the second tipi from the left; a pair of grazing horses and a person can be seen at the right. There appears to be some sort of vehicle or equipment near the small tipi in the center of the image. The ground is covered with grass and low shrubs, and low clouds are scudding across the sky.
