1873 - Navajo boys and Squaw, in front of the quarters at old Fort Defiance, N.M., now unoccupied by troops.
Interesting story behind Fort Defiance, AZ (now AZ). These Navajo surely went through a lot to get to this point. Kit Carson was there, real American history. Check it out on the wiki page.

Are we still in the 1800s? Names like squaw are racists!!
They were in the 1800′s when they wrote the description.
I’m part Native American myself, but the Library of Congress does not edit old captions because they might be offensive today, nor do I. The word wasn’t offensive in the 1800′s, and the evolution of language and oversensitivity of some people isn’t a good reason to try and edit history.
