EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the 1800s, capturing a significant moment in Native American history. In this scene, we witness Native Americans herding reindeer in Alaska, showcasing their deep connection with the land and their traditional way of life. The image portrays a group of Native Americans skillfully guiding a herd of reindeer into a corral. The vibrant colors bring life to the illustration, highlighting the rich heritage and cultural significance of these indigenous people. It is evident that this practice was an integral part of their daily lives as they worked together harmoniously with nature. This artwork sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of Native American history - their involvement in livestock management. While many associate them primarily with hunting or farming, this depiction showcases their adaptability and resourcefulness by incorporating reindeer herding into their territory. The presence of caribou further emphasizes the close relationship between humans and animals in Alaska's harsh environment. This piece serves as a reminder that Native Americans have long been stewards of the land, utilizing its resources sustainably for generations. As we admire this vintage illustration, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize the resilience and wisdom passed down through generations by these native peoples who continue to shape North America's diverse tapestry today.
