Photograph of Mertie West (left) and the wife of the Presbyterian minister (right) stroll down a walkway past a school in Metlakatla, Alaska. A wood-plank walkway extends back through the center of the image. In the distance at center, Mertie West and the minister's wife walk, side-by-side, towards the camera. Tall grasses and shrubbery line both sides of the walkway. Behind and to the right of the women, a school stands. It extends beyond the frame at right and faces towards the left. A house stands behind and to the left of the women. Pines line the walkway in the distance.
