EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tattooed Haidas (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the American Indians. The image showcases two individuals, a man and a woman, both adorned with intricate tattoos that serve as powerful symbols within their native Canadian tribe. The tattooed Haidas are depicted in this engraving as they were described in an article on Picture-writing of the American Indians by Garrick Mallery. This illustration was originally featured in the Tenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution in 1888-89. As we delve into this historical piece, we witness not only stunning artwork but also gain insight into social and ethnographic aspects of these indigenous peoples. The tattoos themselves hold deep meaning within their culture, representing significant events or personal achievements. Through this print, we are transported to North America's Northwest region and invited to appreciate its diverse tribal communities. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and highlights the importance of preserving and understanding different cultures. With its detailed engravings capturing every line and symbol etched onto their skin, this image stands as a testament to both artistic expression and cultural identity. It is a valuable addition to any collection seeking to explore Native American history or anthropology.
