Look at her

This child is gorgeous, look at her. There was no hair care, or skin care, or air conditioning....or much anything elsee.

Wapato girl

This photo appeared on the cover of the first edition of Dorothy Allison's "Bastard Out of Carolina."

Yakima Valley

I'm going to ask my father about that settlement. He and my grandparents moved from Wisconsin to Yakima in '31.

I agree. This moving photo

I agree. This moving photo is so sad. The girl in the picture looks so resigned to her fate.Likes she's already given in.

Wow

This is by far the most moving, beautiful photo I've seen in a long time. Thank you for posting it.
