EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a Wishram bride from the early 20th century. The half-length portrait showcases her traditional attire, reflecting both her cultural heritage and influences from other cultures. The bride's braided hair cascades down her shoulders, framing her face with an air of elegance. Adorning her head is a beaded headdress adorned with Chinese coins, symbolizing prosperity and perhaps hinting at the economic ties between different communities during that time. Her dentalium shell earrings add a touch of sophistication to her ensemble, while the beaded buckskin dress she wears exudes craftsmanship and artistry. Beads delicately adorn not only her dress but also grace the necklace around her neck, highlighting their significance in Native American culture. Photographed by Edward S. Curtis in 1910, this image offers us a glimpse into North American indigenous traditions at the turn of the century. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures intersected economically and influenced one another through trade and exchange. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured on film, let us appreciate its beauty while acknowledging its role in preserving our collective heritage for future generations to cherish.
