EDITORS COMMENTS
Fort Wrangel, Alaska, c1897: A Glimpse into the Rich Cultural Heritage of the Tingit People". This print takes us back to Fort Wrangel in 1897, a time when Alaska was still a relatively new addition to the United States. Standing proudly amidst the picturesque surroundings of the Stikine River, we see a Tingit totem gracing the grounds of this historic U. S. Army fort. The establishment of Fort Wrangel in 1868 came shortly after America's acquisition of Alaska in 1867. This photograph is part of Prof. Geo. R. Cromwell's renowned book "A Tour Through the New World America" offering readers an insight into this remote corner of American history. The towering Totem Pole serves as a testament to both indigenous artistry and cultural significance. Its intricate carvings depict stories passed down through generations, reflecting the deep connection between nature and spirituality for Native Alaskans. Surrounded by rustic cabins and lush vegetation, this image captures not only the military outpost but also highlights how harmoniously it coexisted with its natural surroundings. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene frozen in time, let us appreciate not only its historical value but also recognize that it represents centuries-old traditions that continue to shape local communities today. Let this photograph be a reminder that our shared heritage encompasses diverse cultures and landscapes across America—a tapestry woven together by countless stories like those etched onto this magnificent Tingit totem pole at Fort Wrangel.
