Description
Photograph of a line of three Hopi Indian women carrying the emetic to the snake kiva during the Hopi Snake Dance Ceremony, Oraibi, Arizona, ca.1898. The first in line is the priestess who boils the herbs. They walk barefoot along a raised dirt path. The top of a ladder sticks up out of the ground. Several pottery jugs lay on the ground at right. Spectators stand and sit on the ground and dwellings of the pueblo in the background looking on.
