Madge Knobloch Collection

NAU.PH.98.7.1-308

Volume:: These 307 images are snapshots that were originally contained in two photo albums. A number of these photographs were removed and pasted into a manuscript that was eventually published in 1988. The photographs are 18x13cm and smaller.
Views Include:: These photographic images specifically document Ms. Knobloch's daily life living and teaching on the Havasupai Reservation 1931-1933. While she took trips out of state during the summers, there were no vacation photographs included in these albums. There are only a few images of a short trip to Tuba City and Moenkopi and one image of her at the rim of the Grand Canyon; all others were taken in Havasu Canyon.

Before coming to the Havasupai Reservation in 1931, Ms. Foster had taught at the Cheyenne Agency in North Dakota. She taught at the Havasupai Agency school from 1931 to 1933. After leaving Arizona, she moved to Birney, Montana and spent the rest of her years.
