EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Alaska's rich indigenous culture. The image showcases an Eskimo man from Nunivak Island, adorned in a mesmerizing maskette or headdress. His traditional attire is a testament to the deep-rooted traditions and customs that have been passed down through generations. The man's headdress features a striking protruding headband, intricately decorated with feathers that sway gracefully in the Arctic breeze. At the forefront of this magnificent piece rests a wooden bird head, symbolizing reverence for nature and its creatures. Photographed by Edward S. Curtis in 1929, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into early Alaskan history and highlights the beauty of Native American craftsmanship. The fur clothing worn by the man not only provides warmth but also serves as an expression of cultural identity. As we admire this portrait, we are reminded of the resilience and strength embodied by Alaska's indigenous communities who have thrived amidst challenging environments for centuries. This image serves as a poignant reminder to cherish and respect their heritage.
