EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Cheyenne girl," was taken by renowned American anthropologist and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in the year 1910. The image showcases a young Cheyenne girl, seated and facing the camera with a direct gaze, capturing the essence of her spirit. The girl is dressed in traditional Cheyenne attire, adorned with intricate beadwork, cowrie shells, and bone decorations. Her long, braided hair is adorned with a hairpipe and beads, adding to the overall beauty of her traditional hairstyle. The Cheyenne people, originally from the Great Plains region of North America, are known for their rich cultural heritage and traditional clothing. This photograph offers a glimpse into their history and the intricacies of their apparel. The girl's garment, a decorated dress, is a testament to the time and effort put into creating such intricate and beautiful clothing. The photograph is a gelatin silver print, a popular photographic process during the early 20th century. The image is a valuable contribution to ethnography and ethnology, offering insight into the lives and traditions of the Cheyenne people during this time. The Library of Congress holds this photograph in its extensive collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The Cheyenne girl's gaze, her proud posture, and her traditional attire all convey a sense of heritage and resilience, making this photograph a powerful representation of the First Nations people of North America.
