Edward S. Curtis's iconic photographs offer a glimpse into the lives of the Piikani (Piegan) Blackfeet people during the early 1900s. In these images, we see the resilience and diversity of this Native American tribe, from the solemn gaze of a Crow chief (1910) to the playful expression of a young girl, Running Owl's daughter (1910). We also witness moments of daily life, such as Mike Shortman (1910) tending to his horse or Reuben Black Boy (1910) holding a yellow kidney, a traditional food source. The Piikani people, who once roamed the vast plains of the northern Great Plains, are depicted here with a sense of dignity and strength. Aims Back (1910), a Piikani man, looks introspectively into the distance, while Tearing Lodge and his wife (1910) share a moment of intimacy. Wild Gun (1910) and Two Kill (1910) embody the warrior spirit of the Piikani people, while Joe Russell (1910) exudes a quiet confidence. These powerful images, captured by Curtis in the year 1910, serve as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Piikani Blackfeet Nation.
