EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Indigenous men skillfully poling their canoes up the Skeena River in British Columbia, Canada, between approximately 1900 and 1930. The Skeena River, a major geographical feature in the region, winds through the lush landscape, providing a vital means of transportation for the native communities. The men, dressed in traditional clothing, expertly maneuver their boats, using long poles to propel themselves against the current. This image offers a glimpse into the rich heritage and history of the North American Indian people, showcasing their deep connection to the land and their resourcefulness in navigating the natural environment. The photograph, held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the resilience and strength of these communities, whose traditions continue to thrive to this day. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, with the quiet serenity of the water and the determination of the men as they make their way upstream. This timeless image invites us to reflect on the beauty of the natural world and the indomitable spirit of the people who have called it home for generations.
