Notes:
B — As per Marie Olson, the hanging rings formed a type of swing; a child would hold on and swing around the pole in a circle.
E) Karl Nelson and Judy Franklet say the center house was Cecelia Kunz's, to the right is the Thunderbird Tribal house, Al McKinley clan owns the screen (now at ASM?) and at the left is the Johnson House.
