DescriptionA Native American woman completes her daily chores in this scene of everyday life. She stands outside, scraping a deer hide while also watching over her sleeping baby, who rests in a papoose propped against a log at the bottom right corner of the scene. Three women sit behind her, smoking at the entrance to a bark house. Above them, bunches of corn hang to dry from the roof of the porch.Collections
