EDITORS COMMENTS
High Hawk, a Brule Native American man, stands proudly in this photograph taken by Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1907. Dressed in full ceremonial attire, High Hawk dons a war bonnet adorned with colorful feathers and intricate beadwork, as well as a coup stick in his right hand. The landscape behind him showcases the vast and open terrain of the American West, providing a striking contrast to the ornate and detailed design of his clothing. Edward Sheriff Curtis captured this portrait during a time when Native American cultures were rapidly changing, and the traditional ways of life were being threatened. Curtis's work aimed to document and preserve the heritage of these indigenous peoples, and his photographs continue to be an important record of their history and traditions. High Hawk's ceremonial dress is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Brule people, who were part of the larger Lakota Nation. The intricate patterns and designs on his clothing and headdress reflect the deep spiritual connection the Brule people had to the natural world and their beliefs. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength of Native American communities and their continued commitment to preserving their traditions and heritage. The Library of Congress holds this valuable piece of history, a testament to the important work of Edward Sheriff Curtis and the significance of documenting and preserving cultural heritage for future generations.
