EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures Datsolali, a skilled Washo basket-maker, in the early 1920s. Datsolali, whose name translates to "she who makes baskets," is shown facing slightly right, with a thoughtful expression on her face. Her intricately woven headdress adorned with beads and feathers adds to her regal presence. The image was taken by renowned photographer Edward S. Curtis during his extensive documentation of Native American cultures and traditions. Curtis's portrait of Datsolali is a poignant reminder of the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the Washo people, who have lived in the Great Basin region of North America for thousands of years. The portrait is a testament to the resilience and creativity of indigenous peoples, whose occupations and traditions continue to be an essential part of their identity and the cultural fabric of the United States. This image was taken during the 1920s, a time when many Native American communities were facing significant challenges due to forced assimilation and the loss of their traditional lands. The portrait, taken by Louisa Keyser for Edward Sheriff Curtis, is now part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, preserving the legacy of Datsolali and the Washo people for future generations.
