EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait, titled "Nabkatsheb," was captured by renowned American anthropologist and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1905. The image features a Tewa girl from New Mexico, United States, adorned in traditional clothing, including a colorful blanket draped around her shoulders. The girl's hair is styled in an intricate fashion, with a center parting that frames her face, creating an elegant and timeless look. The Tewa people are a Puebloan culture native to the Rio Grande Valley in New Mexico and northern New Mexico. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes a deep connection to the land and a strong emphasis on community and spirituality. Curtis, a pioneer in ethnography and ethnology, traveled extensively throughout the American West documenting the lives and traditions of Native American tribes. His work, which includes thousands of photographs, films, and manuscripts, is considered a significant contribution to the anthropological record of North America. This portrait of the Tewa girl, with its striking composition and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the Tewa people and their unique cultural traditions. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, serves as an important reminder of the rich and diverse heritage of Native American cultures.
