These poems were found in a manuscript of poems created in the Navajo and English language by Navajo students at the Phoenix Indian School around 1940. The project was entitled, Littler Herder in Autumn.
The photograph was taken of a family residence ca. 1930. This traditional Navajo residence, known as a hogan, is the type of home that the student was describing.
In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, we would like to share just some of the remarkable pieces of Native American history of tribes in southern California and Arizona. All of these records come from our holdings of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (RG 75).

Kinda feel like the archives should have mentioned the school’s assimilationist origins, but really glad to come across...
