EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Somono family, a tribe renowned for their exceptional fishing skills along the banks of the mighty River Niger in Mali, circa 1920s. The image showcases the intimacy and connection of this African family as they gather around their humble yet inviting home. The hut, built primarily from local materials such as straw and mud, stands as a testament to their resourcefulness and adaptability to their environment. The Somono people have long been recognized for their expertise as river fishermen, operating in the vast waters of the Niger River. Their livelihoods depend on the abundant fish populations, which they skillfully catch using traditional methods passed down through generations. The family's proximity to the river is evident in this photograph, with the water's edge just a stone's throw away. Despite the challenges of living in a rural, subsistence-based society, the Somono family exudes a sense of contentment and warmth. Their shared laughter and the presence of children in the scene underscore the importance of family and community in their culture. The simple pleasures of daily life, such as the joy of a family gathering and the beauty of their natural surroundings, are evident in this heartwarming image. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the Somono people during a time when their traditional way of life was on the cusp of significant change. It serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of communities that have thrived in harmony with their environments for generations.
