Bill Yellowtail photographs 1960s-2000

Description:

"Walking across Bighorn Lake": A group of four walk on top of the frozen Bighorn Lake. They walk in a line with one person behind another. The two individuals in front hold onto a rope, which is attached to a metal snow sleigh while the two individuals in the back hold onto the railing of the sleigh. One person travels across the frozen lake in iceskates, while the others walk across in their snow boots. The rocky cliff side of the Bighorn Canyon stands behind the group.
