Hamatsa shaman

 * Reason:Member of a Canadian First Nations secret society. The expression really catches one's attention, enough so to be worth working on a file a bit smaller than the usual fare (but still enough to meet FP criteria).  Restored version of File:Hamatsa shaman.jpg.
 * Articles this image appears in:Shamanism, Hamatsa
 * Creator:Edward S. Curtis

 * Support & Comment Can I safely assume this does not exist in color anywhere? User:NezzadarUser_talk:Nezzadar 16:45, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Considering the technology of 1914, yes. Durova  326 18:06, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Witty. Considering that I was unclear I'll rephrase. Any recent photos. Those would be in color. I'm sure the society still exists. User:NezzadarUser_talk:Nezzadar 05:42, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh dear, misunderstood you. There probably are more recent photographs.  For historic ethnographic material, though, there's a value to working with historic photography.  Even if it's staged, as here, it still gives clues about historic practices which may have changed in a century.  Durova  327 14:51, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Still threw support behind it. It's just a damn great photo, a damn great one. Love the eyes. User:NezzadarUser_talk:Nezzadar 03:04, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
