Hegemann's interest in Southwest Native Americans developed during her first marriage, when she frequently visited Navajo and Hopi reservations within driving distance of the Grand Canyon, where her husband was stationed with the National Park Service. She also apprenticed for a time at a local Indian arts and crafts shop. After her marriage broke up in the late 1920s, Hegemann moved to Tuba City on a Navajo Reservation with her second husband, Harry Rorrick. They purchased the Shonto Trading Post, and beginning in the winter of 1929-30, they ran this business for a decade. During this period, she took many photographs of Native Americans, initially with a Kodak camera and later with a Graflex. Her book has 310 photographs. Later she sold the trading post to Harry and remarried her third husband, Anton Hegemann. She spent the remainder of her life in southern California and New Mexico as well as Arizona.
In 1963, Hegemann published Navaho Trading Days, a vivid account of her experiences at the Grand Canyon during the early days of its development as a tourist site, and on the reservation during her trading post days. Her text is accompanied by her own documentary photographs of Native Americans (Navajo, Hopi, and Havasupai) and their villages, crafts, and ceremonies taken during the interwar years, along with photographs from the Grand Canyon. The book is recognized as an important source of information about life on the reservation during a transitional period as the role of the US Government began to dominate the reservation.
