EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Moki Melon Eaters" by Edward Sheriff Curtis, captures a moment of simple joy and connection between two Hopi girls from the early 1900s. Seated on the ground, they share a messy feast of ripe melons, their direct gazes and broad smiles engaging the viewer. The girls are dressed in traditional Hopi apparel, their bare feet adorned with intricate beadwork and their bodies adorned with colorful patterns. The image, which is part of the extensive anthropological record of Curtis' work, offers a glimpse into the everyday life of the Hopi people during a time of significant cultural change. The girls' untidy clothing and the scattered melon rinds add to the authenticity and intimacy of the scene. This photograph, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Hopi people and the importance of preserving their stories and traditions. The image is held in the prestigious Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and value to the field of ethnography and ethnology.
