EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enchanting gaze of a Wishram woman from Washington State, circa 1915. The woman, identified as Tlakluit, proudly wears traditional clothing and adornments that reflect her rich cultural heritage. Her intricately beaded shawl drapes gracefully over her shoulders, while a delicately crafted necklace adorns her neck. A bone piercing adorns her nose, adding a distinctive touch to her appearance. The woman's clothing, which includes a simple yet elegant dress and a traditional hat, is reminiscent of the fashion of the early 20th century. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a renowned American anthropologist and photographer, captured this intimate moment in time. Curtis was known for his extensive documentation of North American Native peoples and their cultures. His work, which includes thousands of photographs, recordings, and manuscripts, is considered a significant contribution to the fields of ethnography and ethnology. This portrait, taken around 1910, is a testament to the beauty and resilience of indigenous peoples and their traditions. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and celebrating the diversity of human experience. The image, which is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, is a powerful reminder of the rich history and traditions of the First Nations people of North America.
