EDITORS COMMENTS
"This head-and-shoulders portrait captures the intense gaze and dignified presence of an Oglala chief, photographed by Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1905. The chief, an elder statesman of the Lakota or Teton Sioux tribe from the Great Plains of North America, is dressed in traditional attire that reflects his rich cultural heritage. He wears a colorful blanket draped over his shoulders and a striking feather headdress adorned with eagle plumes, signifying his position and status within his community. The photograph, taken during the early 20th century, is an essential contribution to the ethnographic record of the Plains Indians. Curtis, a pioneering American anthropologist and photographer, captured the essence of the Oglala chief's character and resilience, offering a glimpse into the lives of indigenous peoples during a time of significant change. The black-and-white image, with its direct gaze and traditional dress, serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving and honoring the diverse histories and cultures of Native American communities." Location: Library of Congress, Washington D.C., USA.
