EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Saliva" by Edward Sheriff Curtis, captures a Dakota man in a solemn moment inside his tipi. Taken around 1907, the image offers a glimpse into the ceremonial life of the indigenous peoples of the Great Plains during the early 20th century. The man is shown kneeling by an altar, holding a calumet or peace pipe, which was a significant symbol of tribal culture and spirituality for many Native American communities. The tipi, also known as a teepee or wigwam, serves as the backdrop for this intimate scene. The man's posture and the dimly lit interior create an atmosphere of contemplation and reverence. The image is a testament to the rich heritage and beliefs of the indigenous peoples of North America, and is an important contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnography. The photograph is held in the prestigious collections of the Library of Congress, a fitting repository for this valuable piece of visual history.
