EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Basket Maker-Skokomish," was captured by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in the year 1913. The image features a Skokomish woman, a Native American from the Twana tribe of the Pacific Northwest, United States. She is depicted in a half-length portrait, facing the camera with an expression of quiet dignity and pride. The woman is holding a beautifully crafted basket, adorned with intricate patterns and designs, which is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of her people. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a pioneering ethnographer and photographer, dedicated his career to documenting the lives and customs of Native American communities across North America. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the resilience of indigenous peoples in the face of historical change. The woman's age-worn features and the worn texture of her clothing add to the authenticity and historical significance of the image. The Basket Maker-Skokomish photograph is a valuable addition to the vast collection of the Library of Congress, which holds a wealth of historical and cultural treasures. The image is a testament to the importance of preserving the stories and traditions of indigenous peoples, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of Native American cultures.
