[size=+2]Overview of Earth Court Cards[/size]

These people are from the SW United States or Northern Mexico. They remind me of the Navajo, Apache, and Tarahumara nations, so possibly they are descended from the Anasazi?

The Daughter has been left at home to take care of things and learn responsibility. The Son has been sent on an errand. The mother is taking care of the youngest child outside while she watches over the family. The Father is resting outside before returning to the family home.
