EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a typical American Indian burial site from the late 19th century. The image depicts a wooden platform, approximately 6 feet high, supporting a wrapped body of an American Indian. The body, adorned with traditional clothing and decorations, is carefully placed on the platform, which is supported by 21 sturdy poles. The use of wooden structures for burial sites was a common practice among various Native American tribes, reflecting their deep connection to nature and the belief in the continuity of life beyond death. The photograph, taken in 1890, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of the American Indian people. The image is reminiscent of the 07 Illinois landscape, providing a sense of place and context. The burial site, though solemn and respectful, also serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and multifaceted history of the American Indian experience. The wooden platform, with its intricate design and careful construction, speaks to the skill and craftsmanship of the people who built it. The use of natural materials, such as wood and earth, further underscores the connection between the living and the dead, as well as the importance of the natural world in Native American culture. This photograph, with its historical significance and cultural importance, is an invaluable resource for scholars, educators, and anyone interested in the history and traditions of the American Indian people. It offers a unique perspective on a time and place that is often overlooked or misunderstood in mainstream American history.
