A Young Native-American Woman And A Child, 1930
The picture showcases a woman who is helplessly carrying a child. Looking at its background and analyzing it, the woman with a baby was standing on the railings of a train station. This photo was historically taken in the 1930s and with that being said, it really made sense that this photo was taken during the severe worldwide economic depression that took place mostly during the 1930s which was also known as the Great Depression. Imagine the struggles that people in indigenous tribes, just like this woman with a child, had to go through that time – everything was really devastating.
A Young Cree Man, 1903
The man that can be seen in the photo was from the tribe called Cree. It is one of the most populous groups of First Nations in North America. Actually, back in the old days, their population used to be really low because of the successive deaths that were experienced by the people in the tribe due to fetal pandemics and intense tribe wars that really made their population drop. Now, divided into several categories, the Cree people are living as a community and they are all doing their best to protect their tribe.
