Crow Indian Gardeners & Farmers 1930s


Description:
"During severe weather in the winter time Sampson Bird in the Ground feeds his horses and cattle together in the shelter of the trees and bluffs along the river." Two horses, one of whom bows its head to eat, mingle with a herd of cattle in a pasture by a grove of trees. Back to the right, a cattle skull is mounted on a tree trunk. The animal droppings in the ground suggest the horses and cattle have been grazing at the spot for more than a few minutes.
