Description: On the Umatilla Indian reservation at Thorn Hollow, three tipis sit in the woods on the banks of a stream. There are some clothes spread on the bushes by one of the tipis. Behind the encampment is a river. On a gravelly bank logs lie on the ground. In the background is a hill with a fallen log.

Description: An outside photograph of the Umatilla River. The river flows in a zig-zag pattern between two embankments and enters the photograph from behind the left embankment. The left embankment appears on the photograph at a high angle and gradually decends into flat terrain that runs into the river. The embankment and terrain display both cluster and single conifers, wild grasses, and dirt. The right embankment displays hilly terrain that displays single conifers and dark patches of dirt and grass. A bridge connects the embankments and can be seen in the distance. Hilly terrain is shown in the background with a gradual upward slope. The terrain displays clusters and single conifers, dirt, and wild grasses. The top of the photograph displays a large sky with clouds and mist or fog.

Description: An outside photograph of what has been identified as the Umatilla River in Oregon. The river flows between two embankments of fir trees. The right embankment contains a high density of fir trees, and the left embankment contains a patch of fir trees surrounded by wild grasses, rock, and dirt. The river shows its currents and ripples, with a water flow toward the bottom of the photograph. The water flow appears to drop off slightly, like a small waterfall. The river first appears in the photograph after it winds around a bend in the embankments. Toward the top of the photograph a mountain range can be seen in the distance. The top of the photograph displays large, dark clouds that threaten rain.

Description: The approach to W. S. Bowman's photography studio. There is a raised ramp, with "Photographs" painted on it, and the studio is also raised on stilts, since it is built on the edge of a river bank. The wooden building has a false front with "Bowman Photographer" painted at the top, and is surrounded on at least two sides by a narrow porch. On the porch are a chair and a bench. The front door is open and a low chair can be seen within. Between the two front windows and the door hangs a board displaying portrait photographs. On the left a canvas awning hangs over wooden steps , and a lower wooden shed can be seen. Trees and another building can be seen in the background.

Description: A view of what has been identified as the camp of Billy Barnhart, on the bluffs above the Umatilla river. To the left can be seen a wagon draped with canvas or cloth. In the center of the photo stands a tipi supported by its wooden poles. In the right foreground stand two women at either end of a fish drying rack made of wooden poles. The rack is a little above the head height of the women and is covered with eels hung up to dry. A similar rack seems to be just visible on the extreme left of the picture. Both women are wrapped in blankets. The woman on the left has a plaid blanket, and is wearing a dark patterned cloth dress. Her hair is in braids, and a disc earring or hair ornament is visible. Her left hand is lifted and she is holding an object. On the ground near her feet is a white enamel bowl. To the left of the bowl is an object made of buckskin, possibly a large bag or pouch for toting the fish. The woman on the right wears a blanket patterned with stripes and ovals over a dark patterned cloth dress. Her dark hair also hangs in long braids. The Umatilla river winds through the middle of the picture, and the distant shore with its low trees rises up gently, while in the distance mountains are visible.

Description: 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.

Description: 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.
