Description: The caption reads:
"The Great Hurricane of 1938 which swept Eastern Long Island and which took the lives of two Shinnecock women also wreaked havoc upon the old Shinnecock Presbyterian Church.
Members of the tribe were considerably upset because of the damage done to their beloved church but they quickly got things organized and with the help of Long Island Presbytery work of rebuilding the church began. Notice the scaffolding around the steeple.
On this particular Sunday members of the tribe coming to attend services stood around discussing progress that was being made. The author who was living on the reservation at the time, while conducting an ethnological survey for the Dept. of Anthropology of the University of Pennsylvania is the young man with long hair fourth from the right."
