EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Morning Eagle," was taken by renowned American anthropologist and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1910. The image features an elderly Piegan man, dressed in a traditional blanket, seated on horseback and gazing directly at the camera. The man's age is evident in the lines on his face and the gray in his hair, adding a sense of wisdom and experience to his demeanor. The image was likely taken in Montana, a region historically inhabited by the Blackfoot Confederacy, a group of Native American tribes that included the Piegan. Curtis, a pioneer in ethnography and ethnology, traveled extensively throughout the American West documenting the cultures and traditions of indigenous peoples. His work, which included thousands of photographs, films, and manuscripts, is considered a significant contribution to the anthropological record of North America. This photograph, in particular, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the traditional clothing and way of life of the Piegan people. The man's attire, consisting of a blanket wrapped around his shoulders and a hat adorned with feathers, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Blackfoot Confederacy. The horse, a common mode of transportation in the region, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the importance of preserving the histories and traditions of indigenous peoples. It serves as a reminder of the past, while also highlighting the resilience and enduring nature of Native American cultures.
