Photograph of a Cahuilla Indian woman grinding corn in a stone mortar at Cahuilla, 1897. The woman is kneeling at center with her hands holding a rock in a mortar in front of her. She is looking to the left and has a handkerchief around her head. She is wearing a light-colored shirt and a skirt whose pattern matches the handkerchief on her head. Behind the woman is a line of brush, and further in the distance is what appears to be a low rectangular building.
