View of Native American (Navajo) men in a camp, Shiprock Agency, New Mexico. The camp consists of a brush shelter, horses and wagons, and a wooden rail fence in the background. One man sits on the seat of a hitched wagon. A dead cow is tied to the wagon and lying on the ground behind it, having been dragged into camp. Men stand near the rear wheels of the wagon, looking on. One man, on horseback, stands away from the wagon, looking toward the camera. A pile of cut timber, two unhitched wagons, and a horse stand near the brush shelter. Possibly a wagon road leads up a rocky desert hill behind the camp.
