EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a Tenaktak wedding ceremony held around 1914, as documented by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis. The image features two Kwakiutl people skillfully navigating a traditional canoe through the tranquil waters of British Columbia, Canada. One of the individuals is adorned in a full bear skin suit, complete with paws and an intricately carved mask, embodying the spirit of the animal and the power of the natural world. The canoe, a vital mode of transportation for the indigenous communities of the Pacific Northwest, adds to the sense of tradition and cultural significance. The image, reminiscent of an earlier era, transports us back to a time when such ceremonies were an integral part of the native way of life. The Tenaktak people, also known as the Kwakwaka'wakw, are a First Nations tribe from the northwestern coast of North America, and their vibrant culture continues to be celebrated and preserved to this day.
