EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait captures the enigmatic gaze of Kashhila-Wishham, a Male Chinookan Indian, in the early 20th century. The photograph, taken around 1910 by renowned ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis, showcases Kashhila-Wishham's intricately adorned attire, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Chinookan people. Kashhila-Wishham's hair is styled in a pompadour, while his braids are wrapped in fur and adorned with beads. A bead choker encircles his neck, and he wears a beaded buckskin shirt adorned with embroidery and needlework. A fur sash draped over his left shoulder adds an extra layer of warmth and texture to his outfit. The portrait is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Native American people, showcasing their unique fashion traditions that blended practicality with ornate embellishments. The image, reminiscent of a book illustration, transports us back in time to a period when the North American Indian way of life was rapidly changing. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a pioneer in documenting Native American cultures, captured this image as part of his extensive collection of photographs and records. The portrait is now housed in the Library of Congress, a testament to the importance of preserving the heritage and traditions of indigenous peoples.
