Description
Photographic portrait of a Native American woman grinding corn, ca.1900. A Yuma woman is pictured kneeling on the ground, using two flat stones to grind corn. She wears a patterned skirt, and a button-down blouse that appears to be made out of flannel. A plate stands in front of the two stones. Her straight, dark hair obscures much of her face. The doorway to an adobe home is visible behind her.
