EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the wisdom and strength of Hleastunuh, a Skokomish-Twana Indian woman, in the early 1910s. Taken by renowned American anthropologist Edward Sheriff Curtis, this photograph showcases Hleastunuh's head and shoulders as she faces right, her eyes looking away, giving an air of introspection. The image is a poignant representation of the indigenous peoples of North America during this era. Hleastunuh is dressed in traditional clothing, wearing a cloak that adds an intriguing layer to her appearance. The cloak, with its intricate design and fringes, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Skokomish-Twana people. The wrinkles on her face, a result of the passage of time, only serve to enhance her character and the authenticity of the image. This portrait is a significant contribution to the ethnographic record of the early 20th century, providing a glimpse into the lives of indigenous peoples during a time of great change. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the importance of preserving cultural heritage and history. The image is a powerful reminder of the resilience and enduring spirit of the indigenous peoples of North America, and serves as a reminder of the importance of recognizing and celebrating the diversity of human cultures.
