Description
Photograph of an Apache Indian boy standing in front of a "Kan" or brush house, ca.1900. Shaped like an inverted cone with an arched opening, the thatched brush is supported by a framework of sticks inside. The dwelling was constructed in a field of brush. The barefoot boy is wearing nothing but a shirt which hangs halfway down his thighs. His right hand rests on the side of the kan opening. A large pail sits in the brush at right.
