EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking full-length portrait captures the essence of The Grizzly Bear, a Crow chief, as he proudly stands before the camera in 1910. Taken by renowned ethnologist Edward Sheriff Curtis, this black and white gelatin silver print offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Absaroka people, also known as the Apsáalooke or Crow Indians. The chief wears traditional clothing, including a fringed dress and leggings, adorned with intricate beadwork and quillwork. His long, braided hair is held in place by a series of colorful necklaces, each one a symbol of his status and achievements within his community. The Crow people, originally from the Montana region of the United States, were known for their skill in hunting, particularly with the bow and arrow, which The Grizzly Bear holds in his hand. This image, taken during the early 20th century, is an important historical document, providing a window into the past and offering a deeper understanding of the customs and traditions of the Crow people.
