EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of the tribespeople in Sierra Leone, West Africa during the 1910s. The scene depicts a group of villagers in traditional attire, working in the paddy rice fields. In the foreground, a young boy stands atop a raised platform shelter, using a gourd to make loud noises to ward off birds. His role as a 'boy scarecrow' is essential to protect the ripening rice from avian predators. The raised shelters, or 'shelters on stilts,' were a common feature of the rural landscape in Sierra Leone. These structures provided protection from the elements and allowed the people to work in the rice fields more efficiently. The ethnic diversity of the villagers is evident in their distinctive clothing and physical features. The photograph offers a glimpse into the agricultural practices and daily life of the people of Sierra Leone during this period. It also highlights the communal spirit and the importance of cooperation in ensuring a successful rice harvest. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the African people, who continue to thrive in the face of challenges and adversity.
