EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "ZUNI DANCERS, c1898" offers a glimpse into the lives of Zuni Native Americans in late 19th century New Mexico. The image captures a group of men from the Zuni tribe engaged in leisure activities after performing in the Shalako dance ceremony at their pueblo village. The composition showcases an adobe building as its backdrop, highlighting the unique architectural style prevalent in this region during that era. A ladder leans against the structure, adding depth to the scene and symbolizing connection between earthly and spiritual realms. The Zuni dancers are depicted taking a well-deserved break from their ceremonial duties. They can be seen engaging in various forms of relaxation; some sit on wooden benches while others recline comfortably on blankets spread across the ground. Their traditional attire reflects their rich cultural heritage, with intricate patterns and accessories adorning their clothing. Photographed by Ben Wittick, this image provides us with a rare opportunity to witness an authentic moment frozen in time. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Zuni traditions but also offers insight into Native American life during this period. As we observe these Zuni dancers amidst their surroundings, we are reminded of both our shared humanity and our diverse cultural tapestry that makes up America's history.
