EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking head-and-shoulders portrait captures the strong and proud gaze of a Cahuilla man named Marcos-Palm Canon, taken by renowned American anthropologist Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1905, with the image being published around 1924. Marcos-Palm Canon is depicted in profile, wearing traditional Native American clothing that reflects his connection to his Californian heritage. He dons a simple white shirt, a colorful bandana wrapped around his neck as a kerchief, and a dark-colored headband. The backdrop of the image is the rugged terrain of Palm Canyon, a geographical feature located in the desert region of Southern California. The portrait offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of the Cahuilla people and the challenges they faced during a time of Westernization and encroachment on their lands. Curtis, a pioneer in ethnography and ethnology, captured thousands of images and recordings of Native American cultures before they were lost to the march of progress. This portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Native American people and their connection to the land.
