Photograph of a Havasupai Indian woman, Chickapanagie's wife, baking "Meala" bread, ca.1900. The traditional bread is made from corn meal wrapped in husks and then baked in hot coals. She kneals on a slight slope wrapped in a brightly patterned cloth or blanket with her back to the camera. A large pan holds the heat of the coals in a depression in the ground in front of her.A forest is visible in the background.

这张拍摄于约1900年的照片，记录了哈瓦苏派印第安女性（Havasupai Indian）——奇卡帕纳吉（Chickapanagie）的妻子烘焙"Meala"面包的场景。该传统面包以玉米粉为原料，先用玉米壳包裹玉米粉，随后置于热炭中烘烤制成。她背对着镜头，跪坐在铺有花纹鲜亮的织物或毛毯的缓坡之上。她身前的地面凹陷处放置了一个大烤盘，用以承接炭火的热量。背景中可见一片森林。
