1829 Arctic Eskimo Exploration Friends Harpoon Polar Ross Stump
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the historic moment when Sir John Ross's Arctic expedition of 1829 formed an extraordinary bond with native Eskimos. The image, taken in 1829, showcases three Eskimo companions - Shulanina, Tulluachiu, and Tirikshiu - standing beside their explorer friend, Sir John Ross. Sir John Ross, a renowned British polar explorer, had embarked on his second Arctic expedition with the ambitious goal of discovering the Northwest Passage. During their journey, the expedition encountered these native Eskimos, who proved to be invaluable allies. The Eskimos, dressed in furs and armed with harpoons, are depicted here in a candid and friendly moment, sharing a conversation with Ross. The photograph reveals intriguing details of their daily lives, such as the wooden stumps and pegs used for securing their tents. Shulanina, Tulluachiu, and Tirikshiu, with their expressive faces and piercing gazes, offer a glimpse into the human connection that transcended cultural and geographical boundaries. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the native Eskimos, who not only survived in the harsh Arctic conditions but also played a crucial role in the success of Ross's expedition. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history of exploration and the invaluable contributions made by indigenous peoples.
