COLVILLE WOMAN & CHILD, 1861 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Colville Native Americans
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph from 1861 transports us back in time to the Pacific Northwest, specifically present-day northeast Washington State. The image features a remarkable Colville Native American woman cradling an infant in a traditional cradleboard. The woman's stoic expression reflects her strength and resilience as she gazes directly at the camera. Her attire consists of intricately patterned clothing adorned with a headscarf, while her bare feet rest upon the wooden floor. With great care and tenderness, she holds her precious baby swaddled snugly within the cradleboard—a protective cocoon for infants used by many indigenous cultures. The backdrop reveals an exterior scene that hints at life on the reservation during this period. A simple wooden chair serves as their seat, surrounded by blankets draped over it to provide comfort. The bandana tied around the baby's head adds a touch of charm to this intimate portrait. Through this photograph captured over 150 years ago, we are granted a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Colville Native Americans. It reminds us of their deep connection to nature and their unwavering devotion as mothers—values that continue to shape their community today. This historical print is part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection—an invaluable resource preserving moments like these for generations to come.
