EDITORS COMMENTS
High Medicine Rock, a prominent Crow Indian leader and warrior, is depicted in this photograph taken by Edward S. Curtis in Montana around 1908. The image captures the essence of the American West during the early 20th century, with the Plains landscape serving as a backdrop. At the left of the photograph, High Medicine Rock is seen riding on horseback, dressed in traditional Crow attire, with his horse's mane and tail flowing in the wind. To his right, his wife, Her Horse Kills, sits in a horse-drawn buggy with their child. The presence of tepees and a circus-type tent in the background suggests a gathering or celebration. Edward S. Curtis was an influential American anthropologist, photographer, and ethnographer, who dedicated his career to documenting the lives and cultures of Native American tribes across North America. This photograph is a testament to his dedication and the rich cultural heritage of the Crow people, also known as the Apsáalooke or Absaroka. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Crow people during a time of significant change, as they navigated the challenges of adapting to a rapidly modernizing world. The horses, tepees, and traditional attire juxtaposed against the horse-drawn buggy and circus tent reflect the complex interplay between tradition and innovation. This photograph is an invaluable contribution to the ethnographic and anthropological record, offering a window into the lives of the Crow people and the American West during the early 1900s.
