A Ho-Chunk couple and their dog outside of their winter home (ciiporoke). A Hudson Bay blanket is hanging over the door opening. The long tree branches leaning against the canvas were used to open and close the smoke flaps on the top of the roof. On the right foreground is a pile of wood that has been gathered for the winter. The man is reportedly blind.
