EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Inside of a House in Oonalashka, c1776-1779" takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of Native Americans in what is now known as Alaska. The image was captured by Lodge, an artist who accompanied Captain Cook's expedition during their exploration between 1776 and 1779. The interior of this Alaskan dwelling reveals a scene filled with warmth and familial bonds. A woman, possibly a mother or caretaker, can be seen holding a papoose - a traditional baby carrier used by Native American tribes. The presence of babies signifies the continuation of life within these walls. The house itself showcases intricate details that reflect the resourcefulness and craftsmanship of its inhabitants. A ladder leans against one wall, suggesting multiple levels within the structure. Sunlight streams through an overhead skylight, casting gentle shadows on the people below. As we observe this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that despite cultural differences and geographical distances, family remains at the heart of every society. This monochrome engraving by John Webber allows us to appreciate both the beauty and resilience found within Native American communities in North America during this era.
