Some staining surface wear and edge wear bottom left corner a bit chipped mount worn at corners. Notations in marker and pen in verso reading "Ft. Tompson sic Indian School D OKonnor Collection" and "Dixie O'Connor Collection." Good condition. A striking group photograph featuring the students and teachers of the Fort Thompson Indian School more commonly known as the Crow Creek Tribal School in the early-20th century.

Between the students are over a dozen teachers and staff members. All of the students faculty and staff are posed in front of a large three-story brick building. The indigenous school at Fort Thompson was started in the late-1880s by Father Pierre DeSmet.
