Bertha Felix Campigli (1882–1949;[1] née Bertha May Felix) was an American/Coast Miwok photographer from California.[2]

Life

Bertha Felix was born in Laird’s Landing, a cove of Tomales Bay, to Joseph and Paulina Felix.[1][3] Joseph's parents were Euphrasia Felix, a Coast Miwok woman from San Francisco, and Domingo Felix, a Filipino immigrant; they and Joseph moved to Tomales Bay in 1860.[1] Bertha Felix and her siblings attended Pierce Ranch, about three miles away form home, for their schooling.[4]

Campigli's fourth husband was Arnold Campigli, a hunter and farmhand of Swiss-Italian descent whose parents disapproved of his marriage to an indigenous woman.[1][4] She had eight children, the last of whom, Elizabeth, was born in 1925.[1]

Campigli worked as a cook at several ranches around Tomales Bay.[4] She died of tuberculosis in 1949.[4]

Art

Campligli's photographs have been shown at the Burke Museum in Seattle,[5] and were included in the book Our People, Our Land, Our Images: International Indigenous Photographers in 2011.[6]
