EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Fish Carrier-Wisham (i.e. Wishram)," was captured by the renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1910. The image beautifully portrays a Tlakuit Indian woman, standing proudly at the waters edge, surrounded by the breathtaking landscape of North America's Pacific Northwest. Dressed in an ankle-length garment, the woman wears a large bag slung over her back, its strap supported by a headdress made of intricately woven materials, resting atop her head. The woman's traditional attire, reminiscent of the Chinook and Wasco-Wishram tribes, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of the region. The image, with its striking contrasts, transports us back to a time when nature played a central role in the daily lives of these communities. The woman's strong and determined posture, as she gazes out towards the water, speaks volumes about her connection to the land and the importance of the natural resources it provides. This photograph, now held in the prestigious Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Edward Sheriff Curtis and the indigenous peoples of America.
