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.

Poker jim's camp near Cayuse station.
Description
An outside photograph of two men: one is a Euro-American and the other a Native American. Both men are standing in front of a multi-layered tule mat tipi. The photographer has identified the Native American man as Poker Jim. He is wearing a cowboy hat and is wrapped in a Pendleton blanket that reaches his ankles. He is holding the reins of a barebacked horse. The Euro-American is wearing a suit and overcoat and has both hands in his coat pockets. He also is wearing a derby hat. There are six visible external poles leaning against the tipi, presumably to hold down the woven mats. To the men's right, leaning against the tipi, is a homemade ladder that appears to be made of similar poles. The background shows a hint of hillside, along with cottonwood trees and a lone pine tree. At the base of the pine tree is a stack of firewood.
