“SPEARING
SALMON”
1923
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.
This image has never before been available as a goldtone.
