Date: 1925, printed 1926

Provenance: Private collection, Tucson, AZ
Portrait titled Chijako, Pima by Edward S. Curtis, photographed in 1925 and printed in 1926 on Dutch Van Gelder paper. The Pima, known today as the Akimel O'odham or "River People," are the indigenous inhabitants of the middle Gila River valley of present-day southern Arizona, a people whose sophisticated irrigation-based agriculture sustained communities in the Sonoran Desert for centuries. Curtis's documentation of Pima subjects during the mid-1920s produced portraits of quiet intimacy and considerable ethnographic depth. Named Pima portraits are among the more appealing examples of his Southwest work from this period, and the Tucson provenance situates this print within the broader O'odham homeland. From a private collection in Tucson, Arizona.
