EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Tewa girls, c1900," captured by the renowned American ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis, presents a glimpse into the daily life of two unmarried Tewa girls outside a traditional pueblo building in the early 20th century. The girls, dressed in colorful blankets and adorned with squash blossom necklaces, stand confidently before an adobe structure, their direct gaze challenging the viewer with an air of curiosity. The intricately designed brick entrance and the butterfly whorl motif on the wall add to the architectural beauty of the building. The girls' intricately styled hairdos, with long braids and intricate step designs, reflect their cultural heritage. The photograph, taken outside, showcases the harmonious coexistence of people and nature in the arid landscape of the American Southwest. This image, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, offers a valuable insight into the Tewa people's way of life during a time of significant change, making it an essential contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnology.
