EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photogravure on tissue, titled "Wapistan (Marten)-Cree," was captured by renowned American ethnologist and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in the 1920s. The image portrays a Cree woman from Canada or the United States, dressed in traditional attire that reflects her indigenous heritage. The woman, identified as Wapistan or Marten-Cree, wears a long, fur-trimmed cloak and a shawl draped over her shoulders. Her clothing is adorned with intricate beadwork, adding to the richness and complexity of her appearance. The woman in the photograph is depicted looking away from the camera, her expression thoughtful and introspective. Her profile, with the softness of her features accentuated by the contrasting light and shadow, conveys a sense of quiet strength and resilience. The image is a testament to the enduring traditions of the First Nations people of North America, and the importance of preserving their cultural heritage. This photograph, taken in the early 20th century, is a valuable historical record of the indigenous peoples of North America during a time of significant cultural change. It is a poignant reminder of the rich and diverse cultural traditions that have shaped the continent's history. Today, this photograph is held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history and heritage of the First Nations peoples of North America.
