This print titled "WASHINGTON: CANOE, 1921" takes us back in time to witness a remarkable scene on the Duwamish River in western Washington State. The image captures a group of Duwamish Native Americans skillfully navigating the river's waters while transporting passengers in a traditional shovel-nose canoe. Photographed by Thomas T. Waterman in 1921, this snapshot offers a glimpse into early American history and showcases the rich maritime heritage of the Pacific Northwest. The men and women aboard the canoe are dressed in their native attire, proudly representing their Salishan culture. The backdrop of this mesmerizing photograph reveals a picturesque landscape with rolling hillsides adorned with towering trees. In the distance, we can spot an impressive bridge that connects communities across the river. This image not only highlights transportation methods from that era but also serves as a testament to human connection and cooperation across cultures. It is evident that these Native Americans played an essential role as ferry operators for those seeking passage along this vital waterway. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this historical print allows us to appreciate and reflect upon our shared past while celebrating diversity and unity among different ethnicities within America's tapestry.
