Littlesalt Archive

About this Collection

The famous Navajo guide and interpreter, Max Littlesalt, worked for the largest survey expedition to date, the Rainbow Bridge-Monument Valley Expedition (1933-1938). He led the expedition and guided men to archaeological sites and to the dinosaur skeleton of what was to be the only dinosaur excavated in the area, Segisaurus, a small bipedal dinosaur. The digital collection contains undated photographs, largely color, of Littlesalt, his family, and the landscape surrounding his home in Tsegi Canyon, Arizona.
