At the Water's Edge-Arikara, c1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by the renowned American ethnographer and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis. The image depicts a young Arikara Indian woman, standing gracefully at the water's edge in North Dakota. She is dressed in a traditional buckskin dress, which blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The trees in the background add depth and texture to the scene, creating a sense of serenity and connection to nature. This photograph was taken during the early 20th century, a time when the Plains Indians' way of life was rapidly changing. Curtis's work documented the heritage and culture of Native American tribes before they were lost to the encroaching modern world. The Arikara people, also known as the Ree or Riccarée, are a Native American tribe originally from the Missouri River region in North and South Dakota. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Native American people. The woman's expression is thoughtful, and her posture exudes a quiet strength and resilience. The water's edge serves as a symbolic boundary between the natural world and the human experience, reflecting the delicate balance between the two. The use of monochrome adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a valuable historical document and a beautiful work of art. This photograph was likely used as a book illustration, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the Native American people and their connection to the land. The Library of Congress holds this important piece of American history in its vast collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Edward Sheriff Curtis and the importance of documenting and celebrating the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples.
