Photographs, 1897-1905.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145794947

Photographs documenting the agencies, schools, reservations, and Native Americans under the jurisdiction of William Arthur Jones while he was U.S. Commissioner of Indian Affairs from 1897 to 1905. Many of the school and reservation images provide insight into the federal government's attempt to "civilize" Native Americans, especially through the education of Indian children.
