In another image, a child plays with a dog, while another is seen with a group of dogs, both from an unknown creator, between 1900 and 1930. Native boys from an unidentified location, possibly the United States, are captured in a candid moment, as are white children playing together. Indian children from the Sheldon Jackson School in Alaska are pictured sleigh riding, while a child interacts with a porcupine and another tends to a calf. An Athapascan Indian mother and her children pose for an unknown photographer between 1900 and 1923, and a girl plays with bear cubs, reminding us of the diverse and intriguing world that once was.
