EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1912, where we meet a remarkable Tlingit woman from Alaska. Her striking presence is beautifully captured in this portrait, showcasing her traditional attire and unique cultural identity. Dressed in an exquisite costume, she wears a hat adorned with intricate details that reflect her indigenous heritage. Seated gracefully, she exudes strength and resilience as she gazes into the distance. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Native American history, highlighting the diversity of North America's indigenous peoples. Her ethnicity shines through every aspect of this image - from her distinct facial features to her carefully crafted dress. This snapshot serves as a testament to the beauty and complexity of Tlingit culture, providing us with an invaluable window into their way of life during the early 20th century. Preserved by The Living Races of Mankind publication in London, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind ethnographic photography but also its role in documenting our shared human history. Let it serve as a reminder that each individual carries within them stories worth exploring and celebrating – stories that contribute to our collective understanding of who we are today.
