EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "A mat shelter-Skokomish, c1913" by Edward Sheriff Curtis, captures a moment in time of two Skokomish women from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The women are shown in front of their mat shelter and a rowboat, surrounded by lush greenery and the still waters of a serene lake. The mat shelter, a traditional dwelling used by the Skokomish people, is constructed from cedar poles and covered with layers of matting. The women, dressed in traditional clothing, appear to be engaged in a quiet conversation, their expressions revealing a sense of connection to their culture and the natural world. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a renowned American anthropologist and photographer, captured this image during the early 1910s as part of his extensive documentation of Native American cultures. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage and resilience of indigenous peoples, and provides a glimpse into the lives of the Skokomish people and their traditional way of life. The image also showcases the importance of water transportation in the daily lives of these communities, with a canoe and rowboat visible in the foreground. This photograph is a valuable addition to the ethnographic and anthropological record, and is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of North America. The Library of Congress, where this image is housed, is a vital repository of such cultural treasures, and serves as a testament to the enduring value of ethnographic research and documentation.
