EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a Songhees Squaw, a member of the indigenous Coast Salish community residing in the Greater Victoria area on southeastern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The photograph, taken in 1904, depicts the woman wearing a traditional hat and carrying a backpack as she goes about her daily life. The Songhees people, also known as the Lekwungen or Lekungen, have a rich cultural heritage and have lived in the region for thousands of years. They are known for their strong connection to the land and the sea, and their traditional economy was based on fishing, hunting, and gathering. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of these indigenous peoples before the significant changes brought about by European settlement. The image serves as a reminder of the important role that indigenous communities continue to play in the history and culture of Victoria and Vancouver Island.
