EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a Taku doctor in Alaska during the late 19th century. The Taku doctor, whose identity remains unidentified, stands proudly as he poses for this portrait. His traditional clothing and headress showcase his Native American heritage, specifically belonging to the Tlingit tribe of the Northwest region. The doctor's attire is adorned with intricate details that reflect his cultural significance within the community. A striking mask covers part of his face, adding an air of mystery to his persona. It symbolizes not only his role as a healer but also represents spiritual connections with ancestral spirits. His hat further adds to the overall aesthetic appeal, showcasing craftsmanship and attention to detail. This image provides a glimpse into turn-of-the-century Alaska when indigenous cultures thrived amidst changing times. Photographed by Granger in 1899, this print preserves an important historical moment while celebrating Native American traditions and customs. Through this portrait, we are transported back in time to witness the resilience and strength of individuals like this Taku doctor who played vital roles within their communities.
