EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Alaska's indigenous people. Two Eskimo women proudly stand in front of a traditional storage structure in Cape Prince of Wales, their stoic expressions reflecting the resilience and strength ingrained within their community. Photographed by the renowned Lomen Brothers in 1916, this image offers a glimpse into an early era where survival was intertwined with tradition. The storage structure, constructed from wooden poles and covered with animal fur, served as a vital repository for food and clothing supplies essential for enduring the harsh Arctic climate. The women's attire showcases intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail; each garment tells its own story through carefully sewn patterns passed down through generations. A ladder leaning against the structure hints at the resourcefulness required to access provisions stored high above ground level. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that these two women embody not only physical strength but also deep-rooted cultural pride. Their presence serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit that has allowed native communities to thrive amidst adversity. Through this photograph, we are transported back to an era when traditions were cherished and survival relied on communal support. It is an homage to Alaska's indigenous peoples who have persevered throughout centuries while maintaining their unique way of life despite external pressures.
