Content Summary: This series contains fifty-three images from Second Mesa, Arizona, taken between 1944 and 1952. Views from all three villages (Shungopavi, Mishongnovi, and Shipaulovi) are included. The photographs show retail stores, homes, kivas, schools, and dirt roads. The pictures reveal elements of daily life on the Hopi Reservation such as horses, wagons, baskets, dishes, cookware, and laundry on clotheslines. Also portrayed are Hopi men, women, and children as they shop, dine at home, or play at spinning tops in the yard. Examples of pueblo architecture can be seen in these pictures as well: stone walls, timber vigas, and two-story structures with ladders to rooftops. Also depicted is the frame of a Quonset hut which is being constructed to house the Hopi Arts and Crafts Guild. Several photos provide aerial views of the Second Mesa villages and surrounding area.
