Title:  Yaz-Yah, a Navajo Girl in New Mexico

Another Fred Harvey card, this caption reads:
When a traveler journeys to Hopiland in Arizona he crosses a portion the Navajo reservation.  there are some 16,000 Indians on the reservation.  Nowhere, however, are they gathered into anything like a village as ae the Pueblo Indians or even in groups as we find among many other tribes in the Southwest.  They wander here and there like true nomads.  The great industry of the women is carding and spinning wool and weaving it into blankets.  The men look after the flocks of sheep, and many are excellent silversmiths.
