Description: The caption reads:
"It appears to have been a bleak and wintry day when these Shinnecocks were trying to wright a flagpole that the wintry wind had blown over some years ago. The man with the moustache on the right and black shock of hair is Charles Bunn who is shown in photo 25.
I would judge that this photo was taken somewhere around 1908. Pictured on the left is a shed that might have been a shelter for the horse and buggy that belonged to the teacher.
Many of the members of the tribe recall the days that they and their grandparents learned the three R's in this quaint little schoolhouse that burnt down in the year of 1967."
