DescriptionA teacher points a bow and arrow and stands on the bottom step of a front porch at the United States Indian School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A young boy stands on the second step and smiles toward the camera. He is holding more bows for the bow and arrow. Another male student stands on the top step with his right hand resting on a shoe horn and his left hand resting on his waist. A female student sits in a chair on the porch and knits. Another man stands to the left of the porch and rests his hand on a wooden tool. The men are all wearing their suit unforms and the woman wears a striped and plaid dress uniform for the school. The school building is brick. The image is deteriorated along the lower left of the frame.
