EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on January 16, 1923, four Pueblo men proudly stand together, facing forward, in what is believed to be the first recorded protest by Pueblo peoples since the Lincoln Treaty of 1862. The men, identified as Santiago Naranjo, Waihusing, James Miller, and Jesus Baca, each wear a blend of traditional Pueblo clothing and western attire, symbolizing the fusion of their rich cultural heritage with the influences of the modern world. The significance of this moment lies in the fact that the Pueblo peoples, who had been promised permanent retention of their lands under the Lincoln Treaty, were now gathering to assert their rights and demand that the United States government uphold its end of the agreement. Each man carries a blanket and a cane, gifts bestowed upon them by Abraham Lincoln himself during the signing of the treaty over 60 years prior. The Lincoln Treaty, also known as the Treaty of Bosque Redondo, was a landmark agreement that ended the military conflict between the U.S. government and the Pueblo peoples following the U.S.-Mexican War. The treaty allowed the Pueblos to return to their ancestral lands, which had been seized by the U.S. military during the conflict. However, over the years, the U.S. government had failed to honor the treaty, leading to a growing sense of frustration and discontent among the Pueblo peoples. This powerful image captures the determination and resilience of the Pueblo people as they stand up for their rights and demand justice, reminding us of the importance of upholding the promises made to indigenous communities and respecting their cultural heritage.
