EDITORS COMMENTS
Nunivak Youth, 1928" is a captivating photograph by the renowned American ethnologist and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis. This striking image features a young Native American boy from Nunivak Island, located in Bethel, Alaska, United States. The boy, dressed in traditional Native American attire, gazes directly into the camera with a confident and curious expression. The photograph showcases the boy's intricately designed hooded coat, made from fur and adorned with beads and other decorative elements. The boy's dress, which is also adorned with beads and intricate patterns, highlights the rich cultural heritage of the Nunivak people. The photograph was taken during the 1920s, a time when traditional Native American ways of life were rapidly changing due to the influence of Western culture. Edward Sheriff Curtis was a pioneer in documenting Native American cultures through his photography and ethnological research. His work, which includes thousands of photographs and numerous publications, is considered a significant contribution to the study of Native American history and culture. This photograph, in particular, is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique traditions and heritage of indigenous communities. The photograph is a photogravure on paper, a printing process that produces high-quality, detailed images. It is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural history of North America's indigenous peoples.
