Title
Getting water - Havasupai
Curtis Caption
The beautiful limpid Havasu flows the entire length of Cataract Cañon furnishing the Havasupai with ample water for irrigation and for domestic use. They carry the household supply of water in gummed wicker bottles held in place on the back by a burden strap passing across the forehead, in a manner similar to that of the Hopi.
