EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during a traditional ceremonial dance among Indigenous men from Nome, Alaska, between 1900 and 1930. The scene unfolds on the rooftop of a building, with the rugged Alaskan frontier serving as the backdrop. The dancers, dressed in intricate and colorful garments, are deeply engrossed in their performance, their faces expressing a range of emotions from intense focus to joyous delight. One dancer, in the center, wields a drum, striking it rhythmically with a drumstick, creating a hypnotic and pulsating beat that resonates through the air. The other men, some seated and some standing, watch intently, their eyes fixed on the dancers, their bodies swaying gently in time with the music. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Indigenous peoples of Alaska, and the enduring power of tradition and community. The photograph was taken by the Lomen Brothers, a renowned ethnographic photography team who documented the lives and customs of Indigenous communities across North America during the early 20th century. Their work, which includes this striking image, is an invaluable resource for anthropologists, ethnographers, and anyone interested in the history and diversity of human cultures.
