EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Dahchihtok, Nunivak," was taken by the renowned American ethnologist and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis, in the year 1928. The image captures a native Alaskan woman from the Nunivak Island community, located in Bethel, Alaska, United States. Dahchihtok is dressed in traditional indigenous apparel, donning a fur coat adorned with intricate beadwork and a nose ring. Her direct gaze into the camera exudes a sense of curiosity and inquisitiveness. Edward Sheriff Curtis was known for his extensive documentation of North American indigenous cultures, capturing their traditions, customs, and fashion through his photographs. This photogravure on paper, taken during the 1920s, is a testament to the rich heritage of the native peoples of North America. The woman's traditional dress, with its intricate patterns and design, stands out against the stark, snowy background, showcasing the unique beauty and diversity of the region. This photograph is now part of the extensive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the history and culture of the indigenous peoples of Alaska and beyond. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the traditions and heritage of diverse communities, and the role that photography plays in documenting and sharing these stories with future generations.
