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.
