Native American (Ute) woman reaches down to place pegs into the ground in order to stretch the canvas of an erected tepee at Garden of the Gods, El Paso County, Colorado. The woman wears a dress and a blanket tied around her waist. A group of bushes stands in the distance. She is probably in Colorado Springs for the Shan Kive (Colorado Springs Carnival).
