Description

Group portrait of Native American students who attended the Forest Grove Indian Training School and/or Chemawa School. Twelve girls and seven boys are present, all dressed in school-issued clothing.

The building in the background looks like one of the dormitory buildings on the Forest Grove campus, but the location is not certain.
