Native American (tribe unknown) girls and boys pose for a panoramic photograph on the lawns of the Mt. Pleasant Indian Industrial School in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. Girls in long white shirtwaist dresses sit and stand in small groups; some hold hands in a circle or sit at the edge of a pond. Boys in dark pants and white shirts sit on a walk near the edge of the pond. Shows three story brick buildings with cupolas, dormer windows and rusticated stone trim. Smaller residential houses flank the larger buildings. An American flag flies from a wooden gazebo in the center of the lawn. Girls in white dresses stand in the gazebo.
