EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of old men from the Pueblo of Santo Domingo in New Mexico, USA, engaged in the traditional Corn Dance during the 1910s. The Corn Dance is an essential part of the Pueblo people's agricultural and spiritual heritage, a time for expressing gratitude to the gods for a bountiful harvest. The men, dressed in colorful traditional garments, stand in a semi-circle around a large, intricately designed building, believed to be a kiva, a sacred ceremonial structure. A ladder leans against the building, suggesting that the dance may have taken place on its roof. The men sing in unison, their voices blending together in a powerful chorus, creating a sense of unity and connection to their ancestors and the land. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of the Pueblo people, a testament to their resilience and commitment to preserving their history and heritage. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving traditional practices and celebrating the diversity of American culture.
