EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait captures the determined gaze of Shiwawatiwa, a Zuni Indian, taken by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1903. The black-and-white image presents Shiwawatiwa facing front, dressed in traditional Zuni attire. His clothing includes a long-sleeved shirt, a headband adorned with feathers, and a simple yet intricately designed skirt. The portrait exudes a sense of heritage and tradition, as Shiwawatiwa's direct gaze connects with the viewer, inviting us to explore the rich history and culture of the Zuni people. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the indigenous population of North America, who continue to preserve their unique customs and traditions despite the challenges they have faced throughout history. This portrait is an essential contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnology, providing a visual record of the Zuni people and their traditional dress during the early 20th century. The Library of Congress holds this precious image, which continues to be a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in learning about the diverse cultures and histories of the First Nations of North America.
