EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait, titled "Slow Bull-Ogalala," was captured by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1907. The image features Slow Bull, a prominent member of the Oglala Lakota tribe of the Great Plains, turned slightly to the left. Slow Bull is dressed in traditional clothing, donning a colorful cloak adorned with intricate beadwork and a feathered headdress. The jacket he wears is also embellished with beads and quillwork, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the First Nations people. Slow Bull's appearance is striking, with his long, flowing hair styled in a traditional manner. He is known to have been a respected healer and medicine man within his community, adding to the significance of this portrait. The black-and-white photograph, taken during the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the traditional dress and customs of the Plains Indians, providing valuable insights into their history and cultural practices. This portrait, held in the prestigious Library of Congress, is a testament to Curtis's dedication to documenting the lives and traditions of Native American tribes during a time when their way of life was rapidly changing. The image serves as an important reminder of the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the First Nations people, and the importance of preserving their history for future generations.
