Native American (Navajo) woman and child sit inside a brush-covered summer hogan.
The woman holds a large piece of cloth; the child looks at a sheepskin. Sheepskins, a blanket, and other fur pelts lie on the floor.
Others hang from a wooden pole placed horizontally along the wooden pole and brush-covered walls of the hogan.
A pair of dark pants, possibly a dark shirt, and a leather ammunition belt hang from one of the horizontal poles. Date: 1908.
