EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Tah It Way," was captured by the renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in the year 1905. The image showcases Tah It Way, a Native American man, in a head-and-shoulders pose, facing front, with a peaceful expression on his face. Tah It Way is dressed in traditional Native American clothing, adorned with intricate jewelry and a colorful necklace. In his right hand, he holds a calumet, also known as a peace pipe, which was an essential symbol of unity and friendship among Native American tribes. The portrait was taken during the early 20th century, a time when the United States was undergoing significant changes, and the indigenous population was facing numerous challenges. Curtis's work aimed to document and preserve the heritage and culture of Native American people, which was rapidly disappearing due to the encroachment of European-American society. The image is a testament to the rich history and traditions of Native American people, and the peace pipe symbolizes the resilience and strength of their culture. The sepia tone of the photograph adds to its timeless and nostalgic quality, making it a valuable addition to any collection of American history or cultural heritage. This portrait is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history and diversity of the American people.
