EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the mythological tale of Algon, a skilled hunter from an Indian village in America during the early 1900s. In the photograph, Algon is depicted as a strong and determined figure, carrying the ethereal form of a Star-maiden on his back. The Star-maiden, adorned with intricate star-shaped headpiece, weeps silently as she is taken away from her own people, who are seen rising out of sight in the Osier basket she had left behind. The scene is reminiscent of the rich and complex history of Native American folklore, where the natural world and the supernatural often intertwined. The Star-maiden, believed to be a celestial being, was said to have descended to earth to be with Algon, who had captured her heart with his bravery and strength. However, her people, who lived among the stars, could not bear to see their beloved daughter taken away from them. This photograph, taken in 1914, offers a glimpse into a time when the world of the Native Americans was rapidly changing. The traditional way of life was being disrupted by the encroachment of European settlers, and the myths and legends that had been passed down through generations were fading away. The image of Algon carrying the Star-maiden serves as a poignant reminder of the deep connection between the Native Americans and the natural world, and the sense of loss and longing that came with the disruption of that connection. The intricate details of the Star-maiden's headdress and the Osier basket, as well as the expressive body language of Algon and the Star-maiden, add to the emotional depth of the image and make it a powerful visual representation of the complex and rich mythology of the Native American people.
