Eskimo Beauties - Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, Seattle, Playing Cards 1909 This photograph, titled "Eskimo Beauties," showcases three Inuit women from the Alaska-Yukon region, proudly showcasing their traditional attire and adornments at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition in Seattle, Washington, in 1909. The exposition, held to celebrate the growth and development of the Pacific Northwest, provided a platform for showcasing the diverse cultures and peoples of the region. The women in this photograph are dressed in intricately designed garments made from animal hides, adorned with fur, beads, and bone. Their faces are painted with traditional markings, and they wear elaborate headdresses made from bird feathers and other natural materials. Their expressions are serene and confident, reflecting the strength and resilience of their people. The playing cards in the foreground add an interesting element to the photograph, providing a sense of scale and context. The cards, featuring images of Native American chiefs and scenes from American history, serve as a reminder of the cultural exchange and exploration that was taking place during this time. Despite the exoticized title given to this photograph, it is an important historical record of the Inuit people and their participation in the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition. It provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Alaska-Yukon region and the importance of traditional practices and customs, even as the world around them was rapidly changing.
