The Piegan tribe, also known as the Pikuni or Piikáni, were a group of Native American chiefs who played significant roles in their respective tribes. In this captivating photograph taken by Edward S. Curtis around 1900, we see six tribal chiefs adorned in ceremonial attire. Little Plume, a prominent Piegan chief, stands proudly on the left alongside Buckskin Charley of the Ute tribe, Geronimo representing the Chiricahua Apache people, Quanah Parker from the Comanche nation, Hollow Horn Bear of the Brulé Sioux tribe and American Horse hailing from Oglala Sioux. Frances Densmore, an esteemed US anthropologist captured another glimpse into Piegan culture with her photograph taken circa 1910. It portrays a young Piegan girl standing gracefully near her tepee - a symbol of her heritage and connection to nature. Piegan girls are further showcased in two more photographs from 1910 and 1911 respectively. One captures them together in traditional attire while another depicts one lost deep in thought during daydreams - perhaps pondering upon her future within her vibrant community. In addition to these portraits capturing individuals' lives and stories within the Piegan tribe's history; there is an image showcasing three influential Native American chiefs dating back to approximately 1900. This photogravure provides us with a glimpse into their powerful presence and leadership qualities that shaped their communities. Furthermore, we catch sight of Yellow Kidney - another notable member of the Piegan tribe through Edward Curtis' lens in his black-and-white photo from 1910. His strong gaze reflects resilience and determination amidst challenging times faced by his people. Lastly but not leastly are glimpses into material culture: Native American fringed leather medicine bags crafted by members of the Piegan tribe for spiritual purposes. These artifacts serve as tangible reminders of ancient traditions passed down through generations.
