EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of North American Indian children atop the San Estevan Mission in Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico, between 1899 and 1928. The mission, built of adobe and mud brick, stands proudly against the desert backdrop, its bell tower reaching towards the clear blue sky. The children, dressed in traditional clothing, appear curious and playful as they gather around the mission's belfry, where a large cross is displayed. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Acoma Pueblo people, who have lived in this area for over 800 years. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of Arnold Genthe, a renowned 19th century photographer known for his documentation of American life. The San Estevan Mission, also known as Sky City due to its location atop a 365-foot mesa, is a significant landmark in the history of Christianity in the United States, with the first mass being celebrated there in 1598. This powerful image invites us to reflect on the enduring connection between people, place, and faith.
