Français : Comme cette grande pirogue (montée par leurs voisins de la nation Kwakwaka'wakw), Tilikum transporta sans doute des cortèges nuptiaux d'Indiens Nuu-cha-nulth en fête : chef en déguisement d'ours debout à la proue, et guerriers levant haut leurs pagaies...(photo prise au début du XXe siècle, tirée du livre "L'Indien d'Amérique du Nord" de Edward S. Curtis).

This image came from The North American Indian by Edward S. Curtis. These images were published between 1907 and 1930. According to the U.S. Library of Congress, they are in the public domain in the United States.
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (70 years p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 years p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 years p.m.a.), Mexico (100 years p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 years p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain". This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
