EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1920s in Cuba, where we catch a glimpse of Indian miners known as Siboneyes. Hailing from the Arauca family, these miners were recognized for their peaceful and cheerful nature. Armed with wooden poles topped by toasted ends from fire and some even wielding bows and arrows, they worked diligently in the mining industry. The image showcases a group of strong male individuals carrying various items on their heads while standing along the riverbank. Their semi-dressed attire reflects their indigenous roots, adding an authentic touch to this snapshot of history. The monochrome aesthetic further enhances the timeless quality of this scene. As we delve into this piece of Cuban geography, it becomes evident that these miners played a significant role in shaping the country's local industry during that era. Their presence symbolizes both resilience and adaptability within North and Central America's historical context. Preserved through time on a cigar card from "History of Cuba" by Geografico Universal, Propaganda de los Cigarros Susini y La Corona, Tabacalera Cubana (not associated with any commercial use), this print serves as a reminder of our shared heritage. It allows us to appreciate the contributions made by diverse communities like the Siboneyes who left an indelible mark on Cuba's past.
