EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1901 by George Wharton James, showcases the proud Navajo family of Manuelito, a revered Navajo chief. The central figure is Manuelito's wife, Juanita Manuelito, exuding grace and strength as she sits with her family. To her left sits their daughter Shizie, cradling her own precious daughter in her arms. On the right side of the image stands their other daughter Ahkinbah Manuelito, holding onto both her son and daughter. The composition beautifully captures the essence of early Native American life at the turn of the century. Dressed in traditional clothing adorned with intricate jewelry and textiles, each member of this family represents a rich cultural heritage that spans generations. There is an undeniable sense of melancholy present within this portrait - perhaps reflecting the struggles faced by Native Americans during this time period. However, amidst their sadness lies a profound resilience that emanates from every individual captured in this frame. This stunning print serves as a poignant reminder of America's diverse history and pays homage to the enduring spirit of Native American families like Manuelito's who have persevered through countless challenges while preserving their traditions for future generations to cherish.
