Portrait of Alex (or Alexander) Duncan, a member of the Clatsop tribe who attended the Forest Grove Indian Training School and Chemawa School in Salem. He entered the Forest Grove Indian School at age 16 in November 1884. He is leaning on a book in this photograph, possibly indicating that this was a graduation portrait. It probably dates from the late 1880s.
