- Photograph number 47: Wood and barbed-wire fence.
- Photograph number 48: Hopi gates are continually left open by Navajo so livestock pass freely.
- Photograph number 49: "Fence between exclusive Hopi Reservation and Hopi/Navajo "joint-use" area. This fence has been broken down 36 times in the past year by Navajo to permit livestock to pass onto exclusive Hopi territory. Note the bottom wire where herders let sheep pass under. The fence is like this for hundreds of yards. On one section of the fence, all posts have been broken down for about 80 feet and only a single wire remains to keep the Navajo out. Soon the Hopi land will be just as bad off and over-grazed as the "joint-use" land now occupied by the Navajo. It was once better off, now it is questionable."
- Photograph number 50-51: Installing new steel fencing. "These two photos show the construction of the welded, steel pipe being installed into concrete bases. The previous corral was broken down six times in the last year, and 250 horses were driven out. Most of the horses were recovered and returned to the rebuilt corral. Over the last year since the Hopi started to pick up strays and un-branded livestock, they have 750 head of horses. The Navajo have claimed 400 head at the cost of $25 for the first day in the corral and $5 per day thereafter. The Hopi have sold 350 by auction of which only two have been bought by the Hopi Indians.
