We wrap up Indian Portrait week with this picture from 1896. It shows an old Tlingit Indian man. I like all the detail and character in his face.

About Me
- PJM
- I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

Is he missing an ear?
ReplyDeleteWhen we took our Alaskan cruise, we had a Tlingit guide that took us into Glacier Bay. He claimed to be one of very few speakers of the Tlingit language. Glacier Bay was marvelous and so was he.
ReplyDeleteYou don't often see Indians with facial hair. Yet another difference in the genetic diversity amongst them.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the exact thing, and wondering if he had a mixed genetic background. Hubby is part Cherokee, and when he tries to grow a beard he looks as if the moths have been at him. Pathetic!
