Description
Photograph of four young Chemehuevi Indian children (two boys, two girls), ca.1900. One of the girls and one of the boys stand at either side of the other two who sit in a rough wooden chair outside. All four wear head coverings. All except the sitting little girl are barefoot. She wears shoes. Directly behind them is a thick square timber post, a thatched wall of a shelter or dwelling, and a stick and thatched roof. Two bows and an arrow are stored next to a pile of clothes or blankets under the shelter. Further back under a wood wall is visible. Short trees or bushes are visible in the background at right.
