Trailer on Indian Reservation - Fort Independence, CA - 2011

This photograph was made on the 4th of July – Independence Day in the United States – on an Indian reservation in Fort Independence, California. Originally named Camp Independence, the town was established on July 4th, 1862, during the Owens Valley Indian War. Later, lands around the fort were allotted to Paiute and Shoshone peoples forced from their tribal homelands by white settlers migrating west across the continent in great numbers. Poverty remains acute on the reservation. This view is from inside an abandoned double-wide trailer.
