DescriptionWomen and children stand beside a rainwater pool on top of the mesa at Sky City in Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico. The women wear shawls and have their backs to the camera. There are burros on the other side of the pool. The adobe buildings of the pueblo are in the background, some with ladders leaning against the building to reach the second stories.
