Comment: It's a nice photograph, but I don't like this caption. "traditional" is a relative term, and the caption doesn't say much else. The caption at Navajo rug is much better: "Navajo family with loom. Near Old Fort Defiance, New Mexico. Albumen print photograph, 1873." It explains that it's a loom, and suggests they are one example of a Navajo family, not the photographed essence of "traditional life among the Navajo people." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Themightyquill (talk • contribs) 21:21, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Reasonable point. I've changed the caption per feedback. The reason I hadn't originally used the same caption at this nomination is because, as PKM points out, this is more than a photograph of a family beside a loom. It also depicts hunting equipment, maize drying, and other aspects of Navajo daily life from 135 years ago. Durova^Charge! 05:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
