A Gathering War Party, c1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by Edward Sheriff Curtis, showcasing a group of eleven Atsina (Gros Ventre) Indians assembled in Montana, United States of America. The image is a poignant snapshot of Native American life during the early 20th century. The photograph is set against the backdrop of a vast, open landscape, with four tepees nestled among the rolling hills. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and unity as the Native American warriors prepare for a potential conflict. Eleven horsemen, dressed in traditional garb, sit atop their horses, their faces serious and focused. Three women, dressed in colorful clothing, watch from the sidelines, their expressions a mix of concern and pride. A young child, bundled up against the cold, sits on the ground, two dogs by his side. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a pioneering American anthropologist and photographer, captured this moment in time with exceptional skill and sensitivity. His ethnographic work during the late 19th and early 20th centuries documented the lives of Native American tribes across North America, preserving their heritage for future generations. This gelatin silver print, with its timeless composition and intriguing narrative, is a testament to Curtis's commitment to recording the history and culture of the indigenous peoples of America. The Library of Congress holds this historic photograph, a valuable addition to its extensive collection of anthropological and ethnographic materials. The image offers a glimpse into a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the rich diversity and resilience of Native American cultures. This photograph is not to be confused with any commercial entities using the name "Curtis." It is simply a work by Edward Sheriff Curtis, a significant figure in the history of American anthropology and photography.
