Hupa Man – 1923
Here we see a Hupa man photographed by a famous photographer of the time, Edward Curtis, as he looked in the stream, possibly considering how to get the next meal for his family or tribe. This photo was taken in 1923 on “Sugar Bowl,” a region located in the Northwestern region of Nevada County. The Hupa people were natives of the Pacific Northwest and California along the riverbanks. They dwelled in these areas and made their living as they faced the various life attacks that came at them.

This Billy the Boy photo is the only one still surviving of this legend and was taken by Ben Wittick. Navajo Silversmith has a strong history as it relates to America and even though not all of Wittick’s photos made the world stage, the ones he took tells a lot of stories about America’s Southwestern regions. The photos tell stories about natives of the region and their overall lifestyle of existence. Their fortunes existed in this area, and they worked hard always to protect their investments.
