Description
Photograph of a Hopi Indian farmer, Lomay Ohungyoma, carrying corn fodder on his back on his way to the fields, ca.1887. He grimaces under the heavy load. He has a strap wrapped around his forehead that helps support the weight of the load. He wears a loincloth and moccasins. He has long straight hair cropped straight just above his shoulders. A small rise dotted with scrub brush is visible (blurred) behind him.
