About this work

This photo shows a dry, rocky landscape with old stone buildings on a hill. Below, rows of small plants stretch across the land, and a dirt path winds through them. The sky is pale, and the whole scene looks quiet and empty. The artist took this in 1904 as part of a project documenting Native American life. The buildings on the hill look like ruins, but they might have been homes or storage spaces. Next, check out Edward S. Curtis (American, 1868–1952) to see more of his work.
