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.

A person sits on the ground in front of the tipi's open entry with legs stretched out and a rifle placed across the lap. The person is wearing a hat with a circular brim and what appears to be Euro-American clothing. To the right of the tipi's open entry is dark horse with a white stripe down its face and white trim above its hooves. A person sits on the horse using a saddle with feet in the stirrups and hands holding the reins. The person is wearing what appears to be Euro-American clothing with a long coat and big sleeves and a hat with circular brim. To the left of the tipi sits a person wrapped in a solid-color blanket. To the left of the person stands a white horse without saddle. The foreground of the tipi displays terrain of dirt, leaves, and possible artifacts. A log can be viewed and enters the photograph from the left side. Behind the tipi is a cluster of very tall, leafy trees, medium-sized shrubs, and wild grasses. Traces of sky can be viewed behind the trees., [Tipi of Shev-ships, Umatilla Indian reservation.]

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.

Description: Three Native American men, identified as Young Chief, Whirlwind, and Chief No-shirt, are mounted on dark-colored horses on a plain in front of four tipis. Each man carries a staff with ermine, eagle feathers, or other decoration, and Young Chief holds a second, shorter staff with long fringe. All wear headdresses with ermine hanging down, and eagle feather trails, and two have horned headdresses. The men wear beaded moccasins and beaded pants. One wears a cloth vest, one a cloth shirt, and one a buckskin shirt. The pants of two men are visible and seem to be cloth with strips of geometric beading. The horses have beaded bridles, martingales, masks, and reins, and Young Chief's horse shook its head as the photo was taken. Chief No-shirt's horse has a striped saddle blanket; the saddle has a long strip of fur hanging down from the saddle horn, nearly to the ground. All men wear jewelry. In the background at the right of the picture, the four tipis are lined up. In the background at the left, other people and part of a horse can be seen, and at the very left it looks as though someone were holding a flag.

Description: A white man and his four children, who appear to all be girls, stand in front of a tipi on a prairie. The site has been identified as being on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. The man wears cloth work pants with suspenders, a long-sleeved cloth shirt, shoes, and a brimmed hat. A pipe is in his mouth. He is holding the hand of his smallest child, who appears to be dressed in a long-sleeved white cloth frock with smocking and a flat white hat. The two oldest daughters wear long-sleeved darker cloth dresses that come halfway down their calves, and hats with large flat brims. The fourth girl appears to be wearing an apron with a starched collar over a white cloth dress, and is not wearing a hat. All girls wear shoes or boots and socks. The three oldest girls are holding each other's hands. Behind them stands a canvas tipi supported by poles, with its entrance fastened back to show piles of bedding within. Behind the man, on the left of the photograph, is a stack of split firewood and a couple of wooden boxes. Nearby stands an object that appears to be a washer and wringer for laundry. There also seems to be a flat wooden box on the opposite side of the tipi.
