Jesse Nusbaum's stepson, Deric, far right, dances in a line with four Navajo men in front of a winter hogan at Mesa Verde National Park. Dressed in work clothes, the men all wear scarfs tied around their heads; each holds clusters of grass. The top mound of the hogan has snow on it; snow lies on the ground where the men dance.
