Transcription: Front: Yaz-Yah, A Navaho Girl, New Mexico. Back: When a traveler journeys to Hopi land in Arizona he crosses a portion of a Navaho reservation. There are some 16,000 Indians on the reservation. Nowhere, however, are they gathered into anything like a village as are the Pueblo Indians or even in groups as we find among many other tribes in the Southwest. They wander here and there like true nomads. The great industry of the woman is carding and spinning wool and weaving it into baskets. The men look after the flocks of sheep, and many are excellent silversmiths.
