EDITORS COMMENTS
Long Rock (Two Kettle), 1907: A Portrait of Traditional Lakota Fashion and Cultural Heritage This photograph, taken by Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1907, showcases a head-and-shoulders portrait of Long Rock (Two Kettle), an Oglala Lakota man from the Teton Sioux tribe of the Great Plains. Long Rock wears a traditional headdress adorned with colorful beads, feathers, and embroidery, along with intricately beaded clothing and dress. His gaze is fixed upward, imparting a sense of introspection and pride. Edward Sheriff Curtis captured this image during the early 20th century, a time when the traditional ways of life for many Native American communities were rapidly changing. Curtis' work as an anthropologist and photographer aimed to document the customs, languages, and material culture of various indigenous groups in North America. Long Rock's portrait is an essential representation of the rich heritage and cultural significance of traditional Lakota clothing and fashion. The intricate beadwork, feather headdress, and needlework on display reflect the skill and creativity of the Lakota people, who have a long history of using natural materials and traditional techniques to create beautiful and functional garments. This gelatin silver print, held in the Library of Congress, serves as a valuable record of the past and a testament to the enduring importance of cultural heritage. Long Rock's portrait invites us to reflect on the traditions and customs of Native American communities and to appreciate the beauty and significance of their unique artistic expressions.
