Chukchi Dance, 1889. Creator: Unknown
Chukchi Dance, 1889. From a collection consisting of an album and individual photographs that document the Arctic voyage in 1889 of the clipper ship Razboinik (Pirate) and construction of the settlement of Novo-Mariinskii (present-day Anadyr') on the Bering Sea in northeastern Russia. The unique binding, date of acquisition, and inventory number of the album suggest that it belonged to the photograph collection of Emperor Nicholas II. The album contains photographs of the local Chukchi people and views of the harbor Petropavlovsk, the village of Nikol'skoe on Bering Island, and Novo-Mariinskii, where construction of the first building is shown.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Chukchi Dance," dates back to the late 19th century, specifically the 1880s. The image is part of an album that documents the Arctic voyage of the clipper ship Razboinik (Pirate) and the construction of the settlement of Novo-Mariinskii (present-day Anadyr') on the Bering Sea in northeastern Russia. The album's unique binding, date of acquisition, and inventory number suggest that it once belonged to the personal photograph collection of Emperor Nicholas II. The photograph captures a group of four Chukchi people, two women and two children, engaged in a traditional dance. The women are bending forward, their colorful garments blending with the earthy tones of their surroundings. The children, dressed in furs and looking curiously at the camera, add a sense of innocence to the scene. The Chukchi people are an indigenous ethnic group that inhabited the Siberian Arctic region. Their traditional dwellings were called yurts, which were large, round tents made of animal skins. The photograph offers a glimpse into the meeting of frontiers between Russian expansion and the native Chukchi culture. The image is a testament to the rich heritage and tribal culture of the Chukchi people, captured in a moment of authenticity and joy. The outdoor setting, with the women's traditional garments and the children's curious expressions, adds to the timeless quality of the photograph. This historic image invites us to reflect on the past and the diverse cultural traditions that continue to shape our world.
