Description
Photograph of an old Mojave Indian woman sitting on the ground under a ramada, or open thatch-covered shelter, ca.1900. She wears a print cloth around her shoulders, a plaid skirt, and striped shirt. She is barefoot. Her legs are stretched out in front of her and her hands lay on her knees. A tin cup and a long stick (a cane?) lay on the ground near one wood post of the ramada at left. A few cooking implements are visible near the ramada wall at right. Several containers including a crate and bags sit against a wall in the background at left.
