Progress Stalled - A Native American's Perspective
EDITORS COMMENTS
On the shores of the Panama Canal, July 9, 1913, a Native man stands resolute with his burro, loaded with local products, most notably sugarcane. The backdrop is that of the bustling activity of the canal, with ships of various sizes and nationalities passing through, symbolizing the rapid commercial progress that was transforming the world. This illustration, published in Puck magazine, captures the sense of contrast between the traditional way of life and the modern commercial progress. The Native man, dressed in simple clothing, represents the indigenous population that was being left behind in the wake of this new industrial revolution. His burro, laden with local produce, is a reminder of the importance of the local economy and the role it played in the lives of these communities. The title "Progress Stalled" highlights the sense of unease and uncertainty that came with the rapid pace of change. For many, the commercial progress brought about by the canal meant new opportunities and a chance to improve their lives. But for others, it meant the loss of their traditional way of life and the disruption of their communities. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the complex and often contradictory nature of progress. While it can bring about great advancements and improvements, it can also lead to displacement and loss. As we continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the modern world, it is important to remember the lessons of the past and strive to find a balance between progress and preservation.
