On the Pay Streak, Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, Seattle, 1909
Order an ImageThe Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYPE) was a world's fair held in Seattle in 1909, publicizing the development of the Pacific Northwest. The fairgrounds became the campus of the University of Washington. The AYPE included a constructed "Eskimo Village," which exhibited Indigenous people as attractions for the fair's visitors.
This postcard shows the "Eskimo Village" with the Ferris wheel visible in background. The term Eskimo refers to the Indigenous people groups of far northern North America, but is widely viewed as offensive or inappropriate today. The term was imposed by non-Indigenous colonizers.
