EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the strong and dignified presence of Hollow Horn Bear-Brulé, a prominent Brule Sioux leader and diplomat during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The photograph, taken by renowned American anthropologist Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1907, showcases Hollow Horn Bear-Brulé in traditional Plains Indian attire. He wears a buckskin shirt adorned with intricate beadwork, a fringed leather skirt, and a traditional headdress. The background is simple, allowing the subject's clothing and facial expression to take center stage. Hollow Horn Bear-Brulé was born during a time of great change for the Sioux people, as they faced numerous challenges from European settlers and the US government. He played a significant role in diplomatic efforts to maintain peace and protect Sioux lands during the Sioux Wars and the aftermath of the Battle of Little Bighorn. This portrait is an important historical document, providing a glimpse into the traditional clothing and cultural heritage of the Plains Indians during a time of significant transition. The image is also a testament to the resilience and strength of the indigenous peoples of North America, who continue to preserve and celebrate their rich cultural heritage to this day.
