EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the intense gaze of Aki-tanni, also known as Two Guns, a Sarsi (Sarcee) man from the late 1920s. The photograph was taken by the renowned American ethnographer and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis. Aki-tanni is depicted in a head-and-shoulders shot, turned slightly to his right, with a serious expression on his face. He wears a traditional Sarsi headdress adorned with feathers and a long, beaded earring dangling from his left ear. The image exudes a sense of heritage and history, transporting us back to a time when the North American Indian cultures were still vibrant and diverse. The portrait is a testament to the rich indigenous heritage of the United States and Canada, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the stories and traditions of indigenous peoples. This photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of historical and cultural resources, and a valuable contribution to the study and understanding of the human experience.
