EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a tender moment between a Pima Indian mother and her young child, taken in 1903. The Pima, also known as the Akimel O'odham, are an indigenous people originally from the area that is now central and southern Arizona in the United States and Sonora in Mexico. The name "Akimel O'odham" translates to "river people," reflecting their historical connection to the region's water sources. In this image, the mother skillfully carries her baby in a traditional papoose, a device used by many Native American cultures to transport their young children. The papoose is secured to the mother's back using intricately woven straps, which distribute the weight evenly and allow her to move freely. The baby is tucked safely inside, wrapped in blankets to keep warm. The Pima people have a rich history and culture, with a strong connection to the land and the natural world. They are known for their agricultural traditions, particularly their irrigation systems, which allowed them to thrive in the desert environment. Despite facing challenges from European colonization and the forced relocation of their communities, the Pima people have continued to preserve their language, traditions, and way of life. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of the Pima people and the deep bond between a mother and her child.
