The first photo is marked on the back in pencil reading, "Crow Children / E / 1911" and shows four Crow tribe children sitting on horse back. There are two children to a horse and they are looking towards the camera. They have their hair in braids and appear to be wearing trade blankets around their waists. The second photo is marked on the back in pencil reading, "E / Thomas Wasee (Wagee) / 1911". It shows a Native American man and woman standing out in a field while a horse grazes in the background.
