Indian Winter Dance

Here for your perusal is a one-of-a-kind photograph of Incident Winter Dance. It was created in 1914 by Edward S. Curtis.

The photograph illustrates Kwakiutl people, some bowing before totem poles in background, others seated facing front as part of the nunhlim ceremony, the four days prior to the Winter Dance.

We have compiled this collection of photographs mainly to serve as a valuable educational resource. Contact curator@old-picture.com.
