Description |
Color photograph of a group of Navajo people wrapped in blankets at a ceremonial dance. The squaw dancing will last throughout the night. Only unmarried women may dance, but no restrictions are placed on the men. The girls choose their partners, who in turn, pay for the privilege of dancing around the huge bonfire. Photograph by Electroflash on daylight Ektachrome film |
