Description
Photograph of Mrs. Scott (Mrs. Rosmeyer?), a Christian Indian (Yuma?) woman "educated by the white man", sitting on a bench outside her native dwelling, ca.1900. The dwelling's walls are constructed from sticks and mud. The flat roof is thatched. Cooking implements sit at the right of the bench in front of a bed frame laying on its side. A rough fence is visible at right in front of some trees behind the house. Additional cooking implements or supplies sit in a small pile on the roof at left and on the ground in front of Mrs. Scott.
