EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the Principal Female Shaman of the Hupa Tribe, taken by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in the year 1923. The Hupa people are an indigenous group originally from the northwestern United States, specifically the Klamath River region in California. The woman in the photograph is adorned in traditional Hupa clothing and accessories, including a intricately designed headdress, necklace, and other jewelry. Her face is expressive and serious, reflecting the deep spiritual connection and significance of her role as a shaman within her community. Shamanism is a central aspect of Hupa culture, and these spiritual leaders play a vital role in healing, divination, and maintaining the balance between the natural world and the spiritual realm. This powerful image not only serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Hupa people, but also highlights the important role of Edward Sheriff Curtis in documenting and preserving the traditions and stories of Native American communities during the early 20th century. The portrait is now part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.
