Genre: Portrait Photography
Half-length profile portrait, turned to the left, of an unnamed Yuma man: 'Yuma mythology points to the vicinity opposite Fort Mohave, on the California side of the Colorado river, as having been the place of origin of the various Yuman tribes now found along the river from the Grand Cañon to the Gulf. The tribe bearing the family name of Yuma at one time doubtless lived three hundred miles north of their present location, which is along both sides of the lower Colorado, near Yuma, Arizona. Mythology indicates that the Mohave are the parent stock, and that the Yuma offshoot migrated to the south. This migration took place long before the earliest Spanish explorers penetrated the desert wilds of the Southwest, for when first met the Yuma occupied the locality they now inhabit.' (Curtis, Edward S., The North American Indian, volume 2, p.63)
