EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe between 1899 and 1928, captures a breathtaking view of the Acoma Pueblo in Cibola County, New Mexico. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the daily life of this indigenous community. The scene is set against the backdrop of the rugged desert landscape, with the adobe houses of Acoma Pueblo nestled atop a mesa. The mud-brick buildings, some with ladders leaning against them, are a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the local people. The simple, yet elegant architecture stands in stark contrast to the modern, industrialized world that was beginning to encroach upon traditional ways of life. Two figures, dressed in clothing typical of the era, can be seen in the foreground. One is hanging clothes on a makeshift clothesline, while the other appears to be tending to household chores. The image offers a sense of intimacy and access to the daily routines of the community. This nitrate negative photograph, held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical document, providing a window into the past and shedding light on the heritage and culture of the Acoma people. The image is a reminder of the rich history and diversity of America's indigenous communities and the importance of preserving their stories and traditions.
