EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Manhousett Tribe fishermen from Vancouver Island, Canada, in their traditional regalia, skillfully navigating their canoe amidst the pristine waters of the Pacific Northwest. Circa 1910, this image offers a rare glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and time-honored fishing practices of the indigenous peoples of this region. The term "Manhousett" is believed to be a derivation of the Native American term "Manhasset," which translates to "the island neighborhood." The Manhousett Tribe is most likely one of the Kwakwaka-wakw, Nuu-chah-nulth, or Coast Salish tribes, all of whom have a long and storied history of fishing along the shores of Vancouver Island. The fishermen in this photograph can be seen expertly maneuvering their canoe, expertly positioned to catch the abundant salmon that once thrived in the waters of the Columbia River and its tributaries. The sockeye salmon, in particular, were a staple food source for the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, and their successful harvest was a testament to their deep connection to the land and the sea. This image offers a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving the traditions and practices of indigenous communities, and the vital role they play in the natural world. The Manhousett Tribe, and the countless other indigenous peoples who have called the Pacific Northwest home for millennia, continue to be a source of inspiration and connection to the land, the sea, and the rich cultural heritage that defines this unique and beautiful region.
