EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 19th century showcases an Alaskan totem pole standing tall behind a cemetery marker in Fort Wrangle, Alaska. The totem pole, intricately carved with symbols representing indigenous culture and beliefs, serves as a powerful tribute to the rich history of the First Nation people who once inhabited this land. The cemetery marker reads "In Memory Of Kauk-Ish Died 1897 Age 68 years" reminding us of the individual lives that have shaped this community. It is a solemn reminder of our mortality and the passage of time. The image captures not only the artistic beauty of the totem pole but also its significance as a religious and cultural symbol for Native Americans in North America. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a piece of Alaskan history frozen in sepia tones. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on these remarkable sculptures that stand as guardians over their resting place. The architecture surrounding them adds another layer of historical context, showcasing how these structures were integrated into everyday life during turn-of-the-century Alaska. This print by Underwood Archives evokes feelings of reverence for those who came before us and invites contemplation about our own connection with nature, spirituality, and heritage.
