EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait captures the strong and proud gaze of an Acoma man from New Mexico, United States, circa 1904. Taken by renowned ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis, this image offers a glimpse into the rich heritage and traditions of the Acoma Pueblo people. The man wears traditional clothing, including a cloak or blanket draped over his shoulders, a headband adorning his forehead, and a simple, yet elegant dress. The muted sepia tones of the photograph add to the timeless and nostalgic feel, transporting us back to a different era. The Acoma people, also known as the "Sky City" people due to their ancient cliffside dwellings, have a long and complex history dating back over 800 years. This portrait not only serves as a visual representation of their cultural heritage but also offers a glimpse into the individuality and character of this man, whose direct gaze challenges the viewer and invites us to connect with his story. The image is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the importance of preserving and documenting the diverse cultures and histories of North America's indigenous peoples.
