EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the powerful presence of Upshaw, an Apsaroke man, in the early 20th century. Dressed in traditional attire, Upshaw proudly wears a magnificent headdress adorned with intricately woven feathers and beads. The necklace around his neck adds to his regal appearance. The portrait, taken by renowned photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1905, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Apsaroke people, also known as the Crow Nation, who were indigenous to the Great Plains of North America. The image is a testament to the resilience and beauty of Native American traditions, which were rapidly disappearing due to the encroachment of European settlers and the US government's assimilation policies. The portrait is a valuable historical document, preserving the memory of a people and their customs, and is now housed in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. The half-length portrait format allows for a detailed examination of Upshaw's clothing and adornments, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the importance of preserving indigenous cultures and histories.
