This image of Earlene Yazzie one of my Native American friends was taken this past weekend at Monument Valley at a place in the back country called "Big Hogan" I lead a workshop consisting of 27 people per workshop two weeks in a row in Monument Valley. We managed through the gracious donations of my participants to supply them with over 500 lbs. of dog food and they made enough money through the sale of jewelry and the photo events we did to feed their sheep and horses for over two months. I have been shooting pro for years but nothing gives me more satisfaction than helping my Native American friends

Nice pic... This would make a great selective colour shot too, B&W, with just the red of her outfit...

Sure, a Hogan is a Navajo home. in the center of a Hogan is an opening about 3' square. On the dirt floor is a wood burning stove with a stack that goes through the hole. All Hogan's have a door that faces East so they can wake to the rising sun. Since this is such a large opening with a hole in the center the Native Americans call it "Big Hogan" I hope that helps.

I too hold a long admiration and respect for the American Indian peoples. My understanding of a traditional hogan, is that it is made from wooden poles, tree bark and mud. The doorway of each hogan opening to the East, to catch the morning sun as well as good blessings. My point tho, is this is not a traditionarumoredgan, but a large rock overhang. Similar to one(altho much bigger) to one we have here in SE Ohio. Old Man's Cave is a rock overhang here in the Hocking Hills that bears it's name from a Civil War Southern soldier. Richard Rowe who upon deciding the War too much, deserted and traveled to Ohio, homing up within the "Cave" sharing the land with his Indian brothers. What is the story behind this untraditional Hogan, more to the point, the opening at the top. Doesn't look natural, so can only assume man-made.

Incidentally, long rumored to be a relative, but no definitive link established.

I can't find words to do this photo justice, so I sit and stare.

As any SE Ohioan, and others who have visited knows, the Hocking Hills are known as the Cave Region. Due to all the caves in the area. One unique formation is Rock House. I'll post some pics in a new thread.

Good morning Busted Shutter, You are correct a Hogan is usually made from Juniper and covered with mud. This is a natural rock formation. Nothing is homemade here.
