EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "A Holiday Lodge-Yakima, 1910," was captured by the renowned American ethnographer and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis. The image depicts two large, canvas-covered tepees joined together, creating a cozy and inviting dwelling. The setting is the Yakima Indian Reservation in Washington State, United States, during the early 1910s. Curtis, a pioneer in the fields of anthropology and ethnology, dedicated his career to documenting the lives and cultures of North America's indigenous peoples. In this photograph, he captures the traditional housing of the Yakama people, also known as the Waptailmim, as they continue to practice their ancestral ways. The tepees, or tipis, are a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the indigenous peoples of the region. The structures are designed to be easily transportable, making them ideal for the nomadic lifestyle of many Native American tribes. The tepees are also well-suited to the local climate, providing insulation during the cold winters and ventilation during the hot summers. This photograph is a valuable record of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of the Yakima people and their traditional way of life. It also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence and shape contemporary Native American communities. The image is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, which holds a vast repository of historical and cultural materials related to the United States and its people.
