EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of an Eskimo woman named Newarluk, dressed in traditional clothing, standing proudly in Nome, Alaska. Taken by the talented Loman Brothers during the early 20th century, this image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Alaskan Eskimos. Newarluk's attire showcases the intricate craftsmanship and resourcefulness of her people. Adorned with feathers and fur, her outfit is a testament to their deep connection with nature. The mukluk boots she wears are made from hide or skin, providing warmth and protection against the harsh Arctic climate. In this portrait, Newarluk exudes strength and resilience as she stands tall against a backdrop that echoes both tradition and change. Her expression reflects wisdom accumulated through generations of survival in one of Earth's most challenging environments. The Loman Brothers' skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only Newarluk's individuality but also her representation of an entire community steeped in history. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared humanity while honoring indigenous cultures that have shaped Alaska for centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured over a hundred years ago, let it serve as an invitation to learn more about these resilient communities who continue to thrive amidst adversity.
