EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at Digger Camp, an encampment of Digger Indians located at Knights Ferry in Stanislaus County. The year was 1866, and the scene depicts a glimpse into the daily life of Native Americans during that time period.
The image showcases several teepees set up within the camp, with smoke rising from fires as people go about their daily activities. The historical significance of this photograph is profound, shedding light on the racial tensions and struggles faced by indigenous communities in America during this era.
The term "Digger" was often used derogatorily to refer to various tribes of Native Americans who were known for digging roots and gathering wild foods for sustenance. Despite facing discrimination and displacement from their ancestral lands, these resilient individuals continued to maintain their cultural traditions and way of life.
As we reflect on this powerful image captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the importance of preserving and honoring the histories of all peoples, especially those whose stories have been marginalized or forgotten. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength exhibited by Native American communities throughout history.
