Description
Photograph of Navajo family at their hogan in Blue Canyon, showing a horse near the entrance, ca.1900. The hogan consists of tented rough-hewn timbers covered with leafy branches. At the entrance of the hogan, two small children can be seen standing near a thick pole used as a support. A man can be seen seated to the right of the entrance. Further to the right, a woman is visible sitting beside a group of pots and cooking utensils. In the foreground at center, a large horse can be seen. To the left of the horse, a woman is visible holding an object in her hands. Behind the hogan, a small adobe structure can be seen. At least two people are sitting behind the structure at left. The canyon wall rises at right behind the hogan.
