Navajo family at their hogan in Blue Canyon, ca.1900

Photograph of Navajo family at their hogan in Blue Canyon, ca.1900. The hogan, which is constructed from tented rough-hewn timbers covered with leafy branches, stands near the campfire around which various cooking instruments sit. A man, two women, and three children are visible. One of the women can be seen sitting near the campfire with a child to her left shading his eyes. Another woman can be seen at right with a child to her left raising his left arm. The man can be seen near the doorway of the hogan standing near a small girl. The man wears a headband and has his hair pulled upwards. He does not wear a shirt, but rather has it draped over his shoulder. Mountain ridges can be seen in the extreme background.
