On the Selawik River, c1929: A snapshot of life along the Alaskan frontier as captured by Edward Sheriff Curtis. In this photograph, a log and sod hut with a door sits on the banks of the Selawik River. Outside, a dog is chained to a post, keeping watch over the homestead. The hut, made of logs and sod, is a testament to the resourcefulness and resilience of the indigenous people who lived in this remote and rugged region during the 1920s and 1930s. The Selawik River, a geographical feature that winds through the Alaskan wilderness, provides a vital source of sustenance for the community. The photograph, taken by renowned photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis, offers a glimpse into the daily life of these indigenous people and their connection to the land. This image is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Alaska.
