EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Fish Shows, an Apsáalooke (Crow) Indian man, in the early 20th century. Taken by renowned ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1908, the image showcases Fish Shows' striking appearance with his pompadour hairstyle, temple braids painted white, and two eagle feathers adorning his head. The intricate beadwork on his buckskin shirt, featuring large disk ornaments and beads, adds to the richness of his traditional attire. Fish Shows' clothing is a testament to the indigenous culture and heritage of the American West during this period. The Apsáalooke people, also known as the Crow, are known for their connection to the water and aquatic life, and this portrait reflects their deep respect for nature. The disk earring and beaded jewelry further enhance his regal appearance. Edward Sheriff Curtis was a pioneering figure in anthropology and ethnology, documenting the lives and traditions of Native American tribes through his photography and writing. This portrait is a valuable historical record of Fish Shows and the Apsáalooke people's rich cultural heritage. The image has been preserved in the Library of Congress, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the importance of preserving indigenous histories and traditions.
