EDITORS COMMENTS
Camp of the Root Diggers-Yakima, 1909, c1910" is a captivating photograph by Edward Sheriff Curtis, showcasing the daily life of the Yakima people in Washington State, United States during the early 1900s. Three tepees, made of canvas, stand tall against the backdrop of a serene landscape, dotted with trees and bushes. Two women, dressed in traditional garments, are seen squatting by the side of the camp, skillfully extracting roots from the ground using digging sticks. A young child, seated on a horse, gazes intently at the scene, possibly learning the age-old tradition from his elders. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a renowned American anthropologist, ethnographer, and photographer, captured this moment in time, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Yakima people. The photograph is an ethnographic record of the Native American community's connection to nature and their traditional practices. The women, with their determined expressions and the child on horseback, add depth and intrigue to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of American Indian or anthropological photography. The photograph, taken in the early 1910s, is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Yakima people, who have lived in the Pacific Northwest region for thousands of years. The tepees, horses, and root digging tools are all essential elements of their way of life, passed down through generations. The photograph not only serves as a historical record but also as a reminder of the importance of preserving indigenous cultures and traditions. The Library of Congress is fortunate to have this photograph in its collection, providing scholars, researchers, and the general public with a valuable resource for studying the history and cultural heritage of the Yakima people and other Native American communities.
