The Sedona Dream With Jack & Helen Frye
Helen Frye shown with full head dress in about 1942 at the Frye Deer Lick Ranch property (first purchase at Sedona). Helen always had an affinity with the Anasazi, Hopi, Zuni, & Navajo Native Americans, indeed, these peoples were frequent visitors and inhabitants to the property long before the white man claimed Sedona. Jack's image was taken about the same timeframe. Helen dressed Jack for the photo as an Indian Brave, interestingly, Jack was indeed part Indian, hailing from Oklahoma. Of interest, is the Concho belt around Jack's neck, a piece of Native American jewelry (likely Navajo) worn by Helen in many photographic images through the years, and given to her adopted daughter Rosie Armijo.
