EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment in history - the Prince of Wales adorned in Native American dress during his visit to Canada in the 1930s. The future King Edward VIII, known for his adventurous spirit, was bestowed with the honorary title of Chief Morning Star by the Stony Creek Indians. This illustration is taken from "George V and Edward VIII, A Royal Souvenir" a commemorative book published following George V's passing and Edward's subsequent coronation. In this portrait, we see the prince donning an elaborate traditional costume complete with a magnificent war bonnet embellished with eagle feathers. The intricate details of his attire reflect both British royalty and Native American heritage harmoniously intertwined. With a stoic expression on his face, he exudes regality while paying homage to indigenous cultures. This image not only showcases the prince's willingness to embrace different customs but also highlights the rich cultural diversity within Canada during that era. It serves as a reminder of historical connections between nations and how individuals in positions of power can bridge gaps through understanding and respect. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when tradition met modernity, creating an indelible mark on both British monarchy and Canadian history alike.
