Description
Photograph of a young Walapai Indian mother (squaw) with a child slung on her back, Hackbury, Arizona, ca.1900. She stands in front of two Indian blankets hung on a wooden wall -- one blanket with a cross pattern, the other with a diamond and stripe pattern. She is wearing a long plaid dress under a brightly patterned shawl or blanket around her shoulders. Her dark hair has cropped bangs but is otherwise covered with a light scarf. She and the baby both look off-camera to the left.
