Description |
CONTENT: This series contains fifty-five images of Hopi Indians and their cattle in various locations. Some appear on the range near the Wepo-Polacca Spreading Area. Also shown are Hopi men rounding up the cattle there for shipment to Parker, and the loading of the livestock into Carl Muldner's transport trucks. There are also pictures of the fully-loaded cattle trucks approaching Shungopovi hill on their way to Parker. Other images depict some of the fine bulls from the Hopi-owned herds. People portrayed in these photographs include Philip Zeouma, Jr., with cattle in the Valley School pasture, and Taylor Tabo's sons near their truck on the Colorado River Indian Reservation. Other images show the windmills on the rangelands; the corrals, the stock pens, and the loading chutes at the ranches; some of the reservation horses; and several calves near Ram Pasture. BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY: Milton Snow was appointed as the official photographer by the Soil Conservation Service, in the 1930s, to record the images of dams, schools, roads, and hospitals that were being constructed across the Navajo and Hopi Reservations. Snow also became the staff photographer of the BIA and began to take pictures of the reservations. His photos reveal the various social, economic, and cultural activities of the Hopis living on the reservations. |
