Cla-la, a Native American woman on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana, stands in a dirt area on the reservation, possibly near the St. Ignatius Mission. Strips of fur are wrapped around her hair, and she wears large, round earrings and several necklaces, including one with a large, heart charm. She holds a folded blanket, one plaid and one with a floral pattern, over each arm. A tall wood fence is in the distance.
