DescriptionTwo Native American children pose beside a Native American statue at Depot Park between First Street and the railroad tracks in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A young woman stands beside the statue and holds a bowl in her right hand and grasps the bow string of the bow and arrow the statue is holding. She is wearing a white dress with beaded necklaces and white leg wrappings. A plaid woven cloth is draped over her head. A young boy is standing on top of the foundation of the statue and leans against the back of the statue. He wears a light colored shirt and pants with a small straw hat on his head. Both are looking at the camera. The statue is a bare-chested Native American holding a bow and wearing a cape down his back.
