Grace and Carl Moon, both white, wrote and illustrated a number of picture books about Native Americans, particularly about the Pueblo and Navajo peoples. This original work was reproduced in the 1932 picture book THE BOOK OF NAH-WEE, by Grace Moon, with Carl Moon as illustrator. (A copy of the book is included here.) Carl Moon was also a noted photographer of Native Americans, and was commissioned by the Fred Harvey Company in 1907 to photographically document the Native communities of the southwest.
