Description: Young Navajo girl standing with a small child in front of a wood and brush shelter.
Signed on mount: "© Frederick Monsen." Title supplied by cataloger. Monsen's typed label on back says: "Navajo Indians. Arizona. An important Athapascan tribe occupying a reservation of about 23,000 square miles in N.E. Arizona, N.W. New Mexico and S.E. Utah. Here they are supposed to remain, but many isolated families live beyond the reservation boundaries in all directions. Their land is a desert and affords little opportunity for agriculture. For this reason the Navajo have devoted their attention to sheep and have over a million scattered over the reservation."
