EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "A Santa Clara Man (Frost Moving)," was captured by renowned American ethnographer and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis, around 1905. The subject of the photograph is Oyegi-a ye, also known as Frost Moving, a Tewa Pueblo Indian man from Grant County, New Mexico, United States. Oyegi-a ye is depicted in a head-and-shoulders shot, facing forward with a thoughtful expression. He is dressed in traditional Native American clothing, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, a neckerchief, and a kerchief tied around his head. His long, flowing hair is styled in a traditional hairstyle, adorned with intricate beadwork and jewelry. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Pueblo Indians and the importance of preserving their traditions. The image is a valuable addition to the ethnographic and anthropological record of Native American peoples in North America during the early 20th century. Edward Sheriff Curtis was a pioneer in documenting Native American cultures through his photography, and this portrait of Oyegi-a ye is a prime example of his dedication to capturing the essence of his subjects. The image is a poignant reminder of the diversity and complexity of Native American cultures and the importance of preserving their heritage for future generations.
