EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of connection between a man and two children of the indigenous Formosan tribe, taken in the mountainous region of Taiwan in 1922. At the time, Taiwan was under Japanese rule, and the indigenous peoples were facing significant cultural disruption and assimilation. The image shows the trio standing beside their traditional hut, raised on posts on a steep slope, surrounded by lush vegetation. The man, dressed in simple clothing, looks intently at the camera while the two children, dressed in ethnic attire, gaze curiously at the intruder. The scene offers a glimpse into a way of life that was rapidly disappearing, as the world outside the mountainous regions of Taiwan was rapidly modernizing. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of Taiwan and the importance of preserving their traditions and stories for future generations. The 1920s were a time of significant change in the world, with the rise of new technologies, political upheaval, and cultural shifts. Yet, in this photograph, we are reminded of the enduring strength and resilience of human spirit, and the importance of honoring the diversity of the world's peoples and their unique cultures.
