EDITORS COMMENTS
Edward Sheriff Curtis's photograph "Duck-Skin Parkas, Nunivak, 1928" captures a group of Alaskan boys proudly wearing their traditional parkas made from duck skin. The image was taken on the coast of Nunivak, an island located in the Bering Sea off the southwest coast of Alaska. The boys, dressed in their colorful and intricately designed parkas, gaze directly at the camera with smiles on their faces. The parkas, which were an essential part of the indigenous people's heritage and daily life, were made from duck skin and featured hoods, fur trim, and intricate designs. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural traditions of the Alaskan people and their deep connection to the land and its natural resources. The image is a full-length portrait, and the boys are shown standing in a group, adding to the sense of community and shared history. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, is a valuable document of Native American culture and a beautiful example of the artistry and craftsmanship of traditional clothing. The photograph was taken by Edward Sheriff Curtis, a renowned American ethnologist, photographer, and writer, who dedicated his career to documenting the cultures and traditions of Native American peoples. This photograph is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and it is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of North America.
