EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1905, we witness the daily life of two Pueblo women in the village of Santa Clara, located in Grant County, New Mexico, United States. The women, dressed in traditional clothing, are engaged in a common household chore, carrying large jugs balanced precariously on their heads as they make their way along a dirt path. In the background, trees, a rail fence, and a simple stick structure add to the rustic setting of the scene. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a renowned ethnographer and photographer, captured this moment in time, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Pueblo Indians. The image offers a window into the past, showcasing the subsistence lifestyle and the importance of community and cooperation in the performance of daily tasks. The photograph, titled "In the village of Santa Clara," is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the indigenous peoples of North America. It serves as a reminder of the diverse and fascinating ways of life that have shaped our continent's history. The Library of Congress holds this valuable piece of anthropological and historical record in its vast collection, preserving it for future generations to learn from and appreciate.
