Title transcribed from item. Signed on mount, "© Frederick Monsen." Monsen's typed label on back says: "Navajo. Arizona. A Navajo home (Hogan) on the Chinle desert. Typical of summer shelters. In the winter the Navajo seek the forested mesas because of the shelter of the trees and the abundance of firewood. Winter homes are always more substantial structures than the desert shelter."
