EDITORS COMMENTS
Nayenezgani, c1904: A Portrait of a Navajo Deity by Edward Sheriff Curtis This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Nayenezgani, a revered Navajo deity, as depicted by photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around the turn of the 20th century. The image, taken in the heart of the American Southwest, showcases the rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted beliefs of the Navajo people. Nayenezgani, also known as Naabeeho or the "God of War," is a central figure in Navajo creation mythology. He is believed to have played a crucial role in the formation of the world and the establishment of the Navajo people. In this portrait, Nayenezgani is shown in full regalia, adorned with intricate body paints, feathers, and other ceremonial accoutrements. His masked visage, painted with bold, vibrant colors, adds an air of mystery and otherworldliness to the image. The portrait was taken during a time when the Navajo people were undergoing significant cultural changes, as they were being forced to adapt to the encroachment of European settlers and the US government. Curtis' ethnographic work, which included thousands of photographs, helped to document and preserve the traditional practices and beliefs of Native American tribes before they were lost to the inexorable march of modernity. This powerful image, with its sepia tones and timeless quality, serves as a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and spiritual traditions that have shaped the Navajo people for generations. It is a testament to the enduring power of mythology and the importance of preserving the stories and beliefs that have been passed down through the generations.
