1910 Tuvalu, Tamala of Nukufetau atoll, Ellice Islands

Tamala of Nukufetau atoll, Ellice Islands 1900-1910

The photograph shows a woman from Nukuvitau Island in the Ellice Islands, standing in front of a traditional palm-frond house, with a child behind her. The clothing and thatched houses reflect aspects of daily life and local dress in Tuvalu before independence, when the islands were known as the Ellice Islands. Nukuvitau itself is a coral island within the nation of Tuvalu.

Important Note:
The most accurate date is approximately 1900–1910. The year 1910 is the cataloging/publication date in the image data, not necessarily the actual day of the photograph.
