EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Cleaning Wheat-San Juan," captures the daily life of two Tewa people as they process wheat outside a pueblo structure in San Juan Pueblo, New Mexico, around 1905. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a renowned American ethnographer and photographer, documented this scene with exceptional detail and sensitivity. The Tewa women, dressed in traditional clothing, are shown bending forward in unison, their hands skillfully separating the wheat grains from the chaff. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Pueblo Indians, whose ancient practices of agriculture and food preparation continue to thrive in the rugged landscape of Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, United States. The adobe bricks of the pueblo structure provide a stark contrast to the pristine white wheat, while the mud bricks and earthen colors of the pueblo blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. This photograph is a testament to the enduring resilience and connection of indigenous communities to their land and traditions, and serves as an invaluable contribution to the ethnographic and anthropological record.
