EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Snake Dancers Entering the Plaza' by Edward Sheriff Curtis, transports us back to the early 1900s in Arizona, United States of America. The image showcases a significant Native American ceremony, with snake dancers making their entrance into the plaza. The serene geographical feature, adorned with hills in the background, serves as the perfect setting for this historic event. A large crowd of onlookers, dressed in various clothing styles of the era, eagerly watches from the hillside and rooftops, their faces filled with awe and fascination. The snake dancers, dressed in traditional Native American attire, are seen below, poised to perform their ceremonial rite. The concept of this image encapsulates the rich heritage and cultural significance of the North American Indian people. Edward Sheriff Curtis, an esteemed American photographer, captured this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The stark contrast between the white and black elements in the photograph adds to its timeless appeal, making it a valuable piece of historical documentation. This image, now housed in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the diverse and vibrant history of the United States and its indigenous communities.
