Native American (Ute) women stand near a tepee frame and arrange the canvas covering at Garden of the Gods, El Paso County, Colorado. One woman holds a large sheet of canvas while others look on. A pile of rolled canvas stands nearby. The women are probably in Colorado Springs to attend the Shan Kive (Colorado Springs Carnival).
