EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Flight of Arrows," was captured by renowned American ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in the year 1908. The image depicts a group of Atsina (Gros Ventre) Native American men gathered in a circle, with one central figure posed as if shooting arrows towards the sky. The concept of this dance, which is believed to have been performed for the purpose of ensuring a successful hunt or asking for rain, is deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage of the American West. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a pioneer in the field of anthropology and ethnology, captured this moment in time with exceptional precision and detail, using a gelatin silver print process. The image is a testament to the enduring traditions and customs of the Native American people, who were undergoing significant changes as the 20th century unfolded. The photograph, which is now part of the prestigious collections of the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Atsina people of Montana, United States of America, continued to honor their ancestral practices and beliefs. The image is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the value of documenting history through the medium of photography.
