Photograph of a group of Hopi Indians bringing green boughs for the Snake Kisi for the Hopi Snake Dance Ceremony in the village of Mishongnovi, ca.1900. Indians can be seen at center as they carry large bunches of tree branches on their backs. Several adobe or stone buildings are visible in a line that extends from the foreground to the background at left. A ladder leans against one in the background. A man on horseback can be seen in the background at right.

本照片拍摄于约1900年的米松诺维（Mishongnovi）村落，记录了一群霍皮印第安人（Hopi Indians）为参与霍皮族蛇舞仪式（Hopi Snake Dance Ceremony）中的蛇基西（Snake Kisi）环节而携带青枝的场景。画面中央可见多名印第安人背负成捆树枝行进；左侧从前景延伸至背景的区域排布着一排土坯或石砌建筑，其中一栋背景建筑旁斜靠着一架梯子；画面右侧背景处则有一名骑马男子。
