Description: Young Mojave girl with a little boy in her arms.
Signed on mount: "© Frederick Monsen." Title supplied by cataloger. Monsen's typed label on back says: "Mojave Indians. Cailfornia. The Mojave are the most war-like of the Yuman tribes. Since known to history they appear to have lived on both sides of the Rio Colorado between the Needles and the entrance to the Black Canyon. Though a river tribe, the Mojave make no canoes, but when necessary have recourse to rafts or balsas, made of bundles of reeds. They have no settlements, their dwellings being scattered up and down the river."
