EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1907, captures the traditional Hopi homes at Walpi, Arizona. The image shows women climbing a ladder and steps of a pueblo building, their backs facing the camera. The Walpi Pueblo, also known as Oraibi, is a Hopi Indian community located near First Mesa in northern Arizona. The Hopi people are one of the oldest continuously inhabited cultures in North America, with a rich history dating back over a thousand years. The homes in this photograph are made of adobe and mud brick, reflecting the Hopi people's deep connection to the land. The use of blankets as roofing material is also evident in the image. The women in the photograph are likely carrying out their daily chores, such as bringing supplies to the upper levels of their homes. Edward Sheriff Curtis was an American photographer, ethnologist, and writer who documented Native American cultures in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work, including this photograph, is an important record of the history and heritage of indigenous peoples in North America. The Library of Congress holds a significant collection of Curtis's work, including this photograph of the Walpi homes.
