EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait, titled "Chief Garfield-Jicarilla" by Edward Sheriff Curtis, dates back to approximately 1905. The image showcases Chief James Garfield Velarde of the Jicarilla Apache Tribe, who was born around 1861. The Chief is seen looking away from the camera, adding an air of mystery to his demeanor. His traditional attire is adorned with intricate accessories, including a braided cloak, neckerchief, and earrings. The vibrant colors and patterns of his clothing and accessories are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Jicarilla Apache people. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a renowned American photographer and ethnographer, captured this image during a time when the traditional ways of life for Native American communities were rapidly changing. Curtis' work, which focused on documenting Native American cultures and traditions, is considered invaluable in the fields of anthropology and ethnology. The Chief's hairstyle, with its long, braided locks, is a striking feature of the photograph. His clothing, which includes a colorful dress and a kerchief around his neck, is a reflection of the unique fashion traditions of the Jicarilla Apache people. The location of the photograph is not known, but it serves as a powerful reminder of the diverse and fascinating cultures that once thrived across North America. This photograph, held in the Congressional Library, is a testament to the importance of preserving the history and heritage of indigenous peoples. The image invites us to reflect on the past, while also acknowledging the ongoing significance of indigenous cultures in contemporary society.
