EDITORS COMMENTS
Gathering Tules-Cowichan," captured by Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1912, presents a captivating image of a solitary Cowichan woman skillfully navigating her traditional tule boat through the marshland of the Pacific Northwest. The photogravure on tissue reveals the rich textures of the bulrush plants, or Schoenoplectus acutus, that form the tule mats used to construct the boats. The woman, dressed in traditional attire, is shown expertly poling, punting, or quanting the boat through the marsh, demonstrating the deep connection between the Cowichan people and their natural environment. This photograph is an important record of the indigenous culture and heritage of the Pacific Northwest, specifically the Coast Salish people, and their reliance on the local industry of marsh transportation. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Cowichan people, who have lived in harmony with the marshlands for generations. The scene is set against the backdrop of the beautiful and serene marsh, with the tules and other plants creating a lush, green landscape. The woman's focused expression and the calm waters reflect the peaceful coexistence between the people and their surroundings. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving the cultural heritage and natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. This photograph is an invaluable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is housed and available for public viewing. The image is a visual representation of the rich history and heritage of the Cowichan people and the Pacific Northwest, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating indigenous cultures and traditions.
