| This photograph was made in Northern California
near the Trinity River. The subject is a member of the Hupa
tribe, one of numerous tribal groups inhabiting the mountains
and the Pacific Coast region of Northern California. Salmon
was a staple of many tribal groups and other tribes often visited
the region during salmon season to trade arrows and herbs, and
to fish. The lush vegetation and moving water combine to make
this a very beautiful and evocative image. |
