EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1914, captures the picturesque scene of Qagyuhl village at Fort Rupert on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The village, also known as Tsahes, was home to the Tsimshian people, a Native American tribe of the North Pacific Coast. The image showcases a towering totem pole, a commemorative art form deeply rooted in the Tsimshian culture, which stands proudly amongst the dwellings of the village. The totem pole is adorned with intricate carvings of mythical beings and ancestors, serving as a testament to the rich heritage and history of the Qagyuhl people. The exterior of the village, with its wooden structures and masks, presents a striking contrast against the lush greenery and the clear blue sky. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when indigenous communities thrived in harmony with nature, preserving their traditions and passing them down through generations. This image is a valuable historical record of the Tsimshian people and their way of life, and a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage for future generations.
