content: The collection consists of thirteen (13) drawings made by students at the Pine Ridge Agency Day School around 1904.  All but four of the drawings are accompanied by short handwritten essays regarding the scene, most signed by the artist. The drawings were probably produced as class exercises in composition and penmanship. Included are pictures of children's homes, farm animals, the Red Cloud Indian School, and a buffalo hunt.
