It was taken away by the white settlers first, and then given back to them later, as the government of the USA tried to make up for the mistakes that were made with the Native people. So the picture only shows the truth in parts. Manovich discusses other issues of digital photography but in some points he shows the same attitude Kember seems to disagree with in her essay.
In his opinion digital photography is not photography at all because it does not have the characteristics a photograph has to have. His first point of consideration is the limited information a digital image has. It is put together by pixels and the amount of these cannot change. Having this in mind the pictures discussed in this work shine in a different light. They seem to contain more information than the picture itself gives.
The picture basically shows landscape, but the flag on the right side gives information about how the area is, where it is, and to whom it belongs. In my opinion this means, that digital photographs are not always reduced to the information they show, but that they can also contain additional facts that make different interpretations possible. Another point Manovich argues about is, that the editing of images needs special knowledge, equipment and is time consuming.
Today of course not all of this is the case anymore, as digital editing of images can be done very easy. This cannot be said about digital modern time images anymore. Over the course of the last years advertising, TV and Film showed humanity, that pictures cannot be trusted anymore. Almost no cover-image of for example a beauty-magazine is unedited after the shooting.
Seeing these issues in combination with the picture of the Monument Valley, it seems that the picture was changed as well. Several observers of the original suggested that the flag was added after the picture was taken, because it seems surreal and in the wrong place. If the picture would have been taken with an analog camera, no person would ever have suggested that in contained a fake element. This shows that the perception of images changed drastically from what Manovich thought it to be when he wrote his essay to how it is today.

Bibliography 1. Changes in Photography over the last decades Over the course of the last years photography in general changed quite rapidly and starkly. This she links to the concept of Positivism, which says that truth is only what we can determine immediately from our own senses.
The problem of what is truth in photography has been around for much longer than digital photography, perhaps since the beginning of photography itself. Several — otherwise intelligent — famous people became convinced that these were genuine, because they confirmed what they wanted to believe anyway. Expert opinion at the time suggested either that there was no evidence of faking, or that fakery could not be ruled out, to mean that they were genuine.
The images coincided with his own beliefs in the spiritual world that he declined to consider the obvious fact that they were fakes. With the ubiquity of Photoshop and other photo-editing software, we are much more likely to question the authenticity of photographs nowadays. The distinction between perceived and actual truth applies to art photography but the difference is largely irrelevant.
