EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Wisham (i.e. Wishran) girl, profile, c1910," is a stunning portrait of a young Native American girl from the Wishram tribe, taken by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis. The image captures the girl in profile, with her dark, expressive eyes gazing intently off to the side, and her long, dark hair cascading down her back. She is dressed in traditional Native American clothing, including a long, intricately beaded dress, a head dress adorned with brightly colored feathers and coins, and multiple earrings in each ear. The girl's serious expression and the intricate details of her clothing and headdress speak to the rich cultural heritage of the Wishram people, who were part of the Chinook and Columbia River tribes. The photograph was taken around 1910, during a time when Native American cultures were rapidly changing due to the encroachment of European settlers and the US government's assimilation policies. Curtis, who was deeply committed to documenting Native American life and traditions, traveled extensively throughout the western United States and Canada, taking thousands of photographs and recording oral histories from Native communities. His work is now considered a valuable record of Native American history and culture. This photograph, which is part of the Edward S. Curtis Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the beauty and resilience of Native American peoples and their traditions. It is also a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and celebrating the diversity of human experience.
