Native American (Ute) women construct a tepee at Garden of the Gods, El Paso County, Colorado. One woman pulls an erect wooden pole away from the center of the tepee frame. Another woman stands near the rolled tepee canvas and looks on. A girl sits near bushes. They are probably in Colorado Springs for the Shan Kive (Colorado Springs Carnival).
