EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of childhood in the early 20th century, as depicted in this portrait of an Umatilla child from around 1910. Taken by renowned American photographer Edward S. Curtis, the image finds the young girl seated on the forest floor beneath a towering pine tree, her delicate frame clad in traditional Native American apparel. The intricately beaded blanket dress and moccasins, adorned with plaited designs and embroidery, speak to the rich cultural heritage of the Umatilla people. With a beaded bag in her lap, the girl gazes intently at the camera, her dark eyes reflecting a quiet strength and resilience. The natural setting of the image, with its lush greenery and the sun filtering through the branches above, underscores the deep connection between the child and her environment. This poignant portrait, a testament to the beauty and complexity of Native American life, remains a powerful reminder of the past and a valuable contribution to the historical record.
