EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Procession of San Estevan-Acoma, 1904," captures a moment in the rich cultural history of Acoma Pueblo in Cibola County, New Mexico, United States. Taken by renowned ethnologist and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis, the image presents a breathtaking view of the community as they make their way up the cliffs to attend Mass at the San Estevan Mission Church. The procession, a testament to the enduring traditions of the Acoma people, is a vibrant display of both the community's connection to their heritage and their embrace of Christianity. The men and women, dressed in traditional apparel, walk in a solemn procession, their backs to the camera, as they ascend the cliffside path. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, follow closely behind, adding a sense of innocence and wonder to the scene. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Acoma people during the early 1900s and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists in the American West. The cliffs, which provide a dramatic backdrop to the scene, are a geographical feature that has long defined the Acoma Pueblo, located on a mesa above the desert floor. The mission church, perched atop the cliff, is a testament to the community's enduring connection to their faith and their history. This photograph, a part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the role that photography plays in documenting and celebrating the diversity of human experience.
