EDITORS COMMENTS
Bear's Teeth-Arikara, c1908: A Striking Portrait of a Plains Indian Healer This photograph, titled "Bear's Teeth-Arikara," was captured by the renowned American anthropologist and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis, in approximately 1908. The image depicts a male Arikara tribal member, identified as a healer or medicine man, with a pockmarked face and piercing gaze. He is dressed in traditional attire, wearing a fur cloak draped over his shoulders, a headband adorned with feathers, and a simple collared shirt. The Arikara people, also known as the Ree or Riccarée, are a Native American tribe originally from the Plains region of North America, primarily located in North Dakota, USA. This portrait offers a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage, showcasing their traditional clothing and the significance of their tribal identity. Edward Sheriff Curtis was a pioneer in ethnography and ethnology, documenting various indigenous cultures through photography and anthropological research. His work aimed to preserve the heritage and traditions of Native American tribes, which were rapidly disappearing due to European influence and the encroachment of modern civilization. The portrait of Bear's Teeth-Arikara is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving the history and traditions of indigenous peoples. The man's piercing gaze and the intricacies of his traditional attire convey a sense of strength, resilience, and pride in the face of adversity. This powerful image continues to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the Arikara people and the Plains Indian tribes as a whole.
