EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Acoma Water Carriers" by Edward Sheriff Curtis, captures a moment in the daily life of the Acoma Pueblo people in Cibola County, New Mexico, United States, around 1905. Four Acoma Indians are seen gathered at the waters' edge, their focus intently on the task at hand. The women, dressed in traditional clothing, carry large, balanced water jugs on their heads, while the men help to fill them from the nearby source. This scene of communal labor reflects the subsistence nature of life in the arid region, where water collection was a crucial chore for the survival of the community. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Acoma people, whose history dates back over 800 years. The photograph, taken at the edge of a mesa, showcases the stark beauty of the landscape and the resilience of the people who inhabit it. This ethnographic image, a testament to the daily struggles and triumphs of the Acoma people, is an invaluable addition to the anthropological record of Native American life in the early 20th century.
