Mission Indian woman filling a granary with acorns (Cacaiste), ca.1898
Photograph of a Mission Indian woman filling a granary with acorns (Cacaiste), ca.1898. She is bent over the granary at her waist. She wears a dark dress and a plaid dress over that. She has a scarf tied about her heat. She is looking back over her shoulder at the camera. The waist-high thatched granary propped on a low wood frame is overfull of acorns. A somewhat hilly landscape of no trees is in the background.
