View of Native American (Navajo) and white men in a Navajo camp, Shiprock Agency, New Mexico. The camp consists of an adobe brick and wooden slat building, a brush shelter, a wooden rail fence, possibly a corral, and a pile of cut timber. One man holds a rifle, possibly loading it, while men look on, two on horseback. Unhitched wagons sit next to the wooden fence and the brush shelter as well as near the adobe building. One man wears a woven blanket kilt.
