EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait captures the wisdom and dignity of Red Cloud, a prominent Oglala Lakota leader from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Taken by renowned ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1905, the image showcases Red Cloud in traditional Plains Indian attire, with a kerchief draped around his neck and a drowsy expression in his closed eyes. The portrait offers a glimpse into the heritage and culture of the First Nations people of North America during a pivotal time in history. Red Cloud, also known as Mahpiya Luta or Makphe Ah Luta, was born in the late 1820s and played a significant role in the resistance against European encroachment on Lakota lands. His image has become a symbol of Native American resilience and the rich history of the Plains Indians. This photograph, held in the Library of Congress, is an important anthropological and ethnographic record of the past and a testament to the enduring legacy of Red Cloud and the First Nations people.
