Photogravure titled Reindeer, Nunivak by Edward S. Curtis, printed in 1928 on Dutch Van Gelder paper, from the final years of his monumental project The North American Indian. Nunivak Island, a remote island in the Bering Sea off the western coast of Alaska, was home to the Cup'ik people, a distinct group related to but culturally separate from the mainland Yup'ik. Curtis's 1927 expedition to Nunivak produced some of the most visually dramatic and geographically remote images of his entire career. The introduction of reindeer herding to Nunivak Island in the early 20th century represented a significant shift in traditional Cup'ik subsistence patterns, lending this image particular documentary resonance. From a private collection in Tucson, Arizona.
