EDITORS COMMENTS
The Crow Likes Water," captured by Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1905, presents a profound and introspective portrait of a Crow man, absorbed in thought as he gazes out towards the water. This gelatin silver print, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the American West, was taken during Curtis' extensive documentation of Native American tribes. The Crow, also known as the Absaroka or Apsáalooke, are indigenous peoples of the Plains region, primarily residing in Montana, United States of America. Curtis' anthropological work during the early 20th century aimed to preserve the traditions and stories of these tribes, which were rapidly disappearing due to the encroachment of European-American culture. In this photograph, the Crow man is depicted in a contemplative moment, his profile facing left, and his gaze fixed on the water. The image, with its high contrast and sharp detail, adds to the sense of timelessness and introspection. The Crow Likes Water is an essential piece of ethnographic and historical record, offering a glimpse into the lives and traditions of the Crow people during a pivotal moment in American history. The photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural heritage that shapes our world, and the ongoing relevance of anthropological and ethnological research in understanding the human experience. This photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of historical and cultural resources that continues to inspire and inform scholars, artists, and the public alike. The Crow Likes Water is a powerful reminder of the rich and complex history of the American West and the indigenous peoples who have called it home for generations.
