Panoramic view of a group of people at the funeral of A.M. Kushiwa in the Tuscarora Mountains, Elko County, Nevada. An Asian-American man presides and several Asian-American people are present. The mine in the background is the Basque Mine located in the Tuscarora Mining District. The caption reads,"Burial services at the mine for A.M. Kushiwa.
