Nespilim girl. Photographer: Curtis, Edward Sheriff
- Scope & Content:
-
Full-length full-face portrait of an unnamed Nespilin girl, wearing a floor-length light-coloured robe and holding a zigzag-striped bag, standing beside a stream with a backdrop of foliage. 'In the early years of the nineteenth century various explorers noted that the bands dwelling along the upper course of the Columbia, among which the Nespilim were included, wore practically no clothing. Excepting as the cold made some protection necessary. The hair of the women was arranged in two knots at the sides of the face a method of hairdressing still in vogue among the Salish on Fraser river. Prior to the middle of the century the use of deerskin garments had become common, and gradually other customs such as the style of hairdressing here illustrated, were borrowed from the tribes east of the Rocky mountains.'
