Description Color photographs of a Navajo child. "Navajo children own property on the same basis as their elders. This small girl's jewelry was probably bought with the proceeds from the sale of her own lambs and wool. The mother commonly gives her young child a few sheep to establish the baby's private herd. These and their increase are recognized as the exclusive property of the child." A young girl in a purple skirt, a long-sleeved blue velvet shirt with silver buttons, a turquoise and silver squash blossom necklace, a colorful striped blanket, and a head scarf
