EDITORS COMMENTS
Touch her dress: A Kalispel Girl, c1910, is a captivating photograph by the renowned American ethnographer and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis. In this image, a young Kalispel girl, dressed in traditional Native American attire, sits on her knees with her hands folded demurely in her lap. Her posture exudes a sense of calm and introspection, inviting the viewer to appreciate the beauty and grace of this moment. The girl's clothing is adorned with intricate plaited details, including braids in her hair and a belt around her waist. She wears large, elegant earrings, and a headband adorned with shells, adding to the overall aesthetic of her traditional attire. The use of natural materials, such as shells and plant fibers, highlights the strong connection between the Kalispel people and their natural environment. The photograph was likely taken near the water, as evidenced by the aquatic life depicted in the background. The girl's proximity to the water may suggest a connection to her community's heritage and traditions, which were deeply rooted in the natural world. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Kalispel people and the importance of preserving their history. It is a poignant reminder of the beauty and diversity of Native American cultures and the importance of honoring their traditions. The photograph was taken during the early 20th century, a time when the assimilation of Native American communities into mainstream American society was a significant concern. Curtis' work, including this image, played a crucial role in documenting and preserving the traditions and heritage of Native American communities. Today, this photograph is an essential part of the Library of Congress' collection and serves as a reminder of the importance of cultural preservation and appreciation.
