Additional Information
Photographed circa 1910 in Washington State by Edward S. Curtis, this serene landscape titled In the Mountains Spokane depicts tipis and a tent nestled beneath trees with a forested hillside rising behind them. The peaceful encampment reflects the seasonal rhythms that guided Spokane life for thousands of years.
The Spokane people, whose name is often translated as children of the sun, inhabited a vast territory spanning three million acres across eastern Washington. Following a semi-nomadic seasonal round, they fished for salmon along the Spokane and Columbia Rivers and ventured into the mountains to hunt and gather.
Curtis published this photograph on page 166 of the seventh volume of The North American Indian, his twenty-volume survey produced between 1907 and 1930. The volume documents the Salishan peoples of the interior Plateau, including the Spokane, Yakima, Klickitat, and Kutenai.
This tranquil photograph stands as a testament to the Spokane people's bond with the mountain landscapes of the inland Northwest, offering a window into traditions shaped by rivers, forests, and highlands. It appeals to collectors of Pacific Northwest Indigenous heritage, early twentieth-century photography, and Edward Curtis's unmatched documentary legacy.
