EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking head-and-shoulders portrait captures the profound gaze of a Navaho chief, taken by renowned ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1904. The Navaho, also known as the Dine people, are a Native American tribe originally from the Southwestern United States and Northwestern Mexico. The chief wears traditional Navaho clothing, including a patterned blanket draped over his shoulders and a headband adorned with intricate design elements. The photograph, which showcases the rich textures and details of the chief's attire, is a testament to the enduring heritage and cultural significance of the Navaho people. The portrait, taken during a time when anthropological interest in indigenous cultures was at its peak, is an important document of the Navaho people's history and traditions. The Library of Congress holds this valuable photograph in its extensive collection, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of ethnography and anthropology.
