Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Home of the Havasupai
1
The Havasupai dwelling is dome-shaped framework of poles, sometimes covered with brush and reeds only, in other cases banked well toward the top with earth. The cañon walls shown in the background are of red sandstone, and rise perpendicularly four hundred feet. Back of these walls extend vast stretches of rough, broken country, intersected by many ravines and capped by sharp pinnacles. This picture was taken in early spring, when the peach orchards of the Havasupai were in full blossom.

Diegueño home
1
The Diegueños, a Yuman division formerly inhabiting practically the whole of San Diego county, are now found on about a dozen small reservations. Although they were not formerly agriculturists like the Colorado River Yumans, many of them take excellent care of their little ranches. Such houses as the one shown here are not of the primitive type, though they are constructed of the same materials.

Mono home
1
The Mono inhabit east-central California from Owens lake to the head of the southerly affluents of Walker river. The snow-capped Sierra Nevada rises abruptly on the western border of this inland basin. The wickiup shown in the plate is a typical winter shelter, and the utensils are burden-baskets and sieves, or winnowing-trays. All these baskets were appurtenances of the one wickiup.

Mohave water carrier
1
A Mohave mother on the bank of the Colorado river. The Mohave carry practically all burdens on their heads. Being unusually large and strongly built, the women thus bear immense loads with apparent ease. A woman has been seen to balance on her head a railroad tie of such weight that a strong man could do no more than pick it up, and addition a heavy load in each hand.

Mosa - Mohave
1
It would be difficult to conceive of a more aboriginal than this Mohave girl. Her eyes are those of the fawn of the forest, questioning the strange things of civilization upon which it gazes for the first time. She is such a type as Father Garces may have viewed on his journey through the Mohave country in 1776.

Chemehuevi house
1
The Chemehuevi are closely allied linguistically to the Paiute of southern Nevada, from which region they undoubtedly came in the not distant past. In the historical period they have held the eastern half of San Bernardino county and the eastern end of Riverside. On Colorado river they held the lowlands on both sides between Needles and Bill Williams fork, and a group is still resident there in Chemehuevi valley. Those who settled in the valley (which apparently was subsequent to 1776, because in that year the diary of his journey across the desert west of the river) became agriculturists like the Mohave.
