(middle) The Traditional Hogan . . . one round room of logs and mud with a smoke hole in the roof, still is home for most of the Navajos. - AP Photo

(bottom) Two Young Navajo Women . . . in full ceremonial costumes at the annual Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial at Gallup, N.M. The fluted skirts were adapted from Army Wives' Mother Hubbards when the Navajos were imprisoned in the 1860s. Navajos usually wear all their jewelry. The blouses are velvet. The men and boys, like the shy one here, wear western-style Levis. - AP Photo
