EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1930, captures the essence of childhood in Alaska during the early 20th century. Four Native boys, dressed in traditional clothing, stand together in a full-length group portrait. The eldest boy wears a fur-trimmed parka and a tall, conical hat, while the others don knitted sweaters and woolen jackets. Two boys hold fish, a symbol of their connection to the land and the abundant seafood resources, while the others gaze directly at the camera with a sense of curiosity and pride. The image offers a glimpse into the lives of indigenous communities in Alaska during a time of significant change. The meeting of frontiers between Native cultures and the encroaching influence of the United States is evident in the boys' clothing, which reflects both traditional and modern influences. The photograph was likely taken in the Knik Matanuska Susitna region of Alaska, and is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress. This powerful image not only serves as a record of history but also as a reminder of the rich heritage and resilience of Native communities in Alaska and across North America.
