Ute Chief Severo and Family - A Glimpse into Indigenous Heritage
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by the Detroit Photographic Company in 1885 and published in 1900, offers a rare glimpse into the lives of Ute Chief Severo and his family. The image showcases the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans during the late 19th century. In this portrait, Ute Chief Severo stands tall with an air of dignity, adorned in traditional attire that reflects his status as a respected chieftain. His intricate clothing is a testament to his deep connection with nature and ancestral traditions. By his side stands his wife, also dressed elegantly in vibrant garments that symbolize her role as a matriarch within their community. Their children are depicted with equal grace; their young faces painted with innocence yet carrying hints of wisdom inherited from generations past. One child is cradled safely in a papoose—a traditional baby carrier—symbolizing the continuity of life within their tribe. The photo chromolithograph beautifully captures not only the physical features but also the spirit and resilience of these indigenous people who called themselves "Ute". It serves as a reminder of their presence on American soil long before European settlers arrived. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this artwork allows us to appreciate Charles A. Nast's talent for preserving history through photography. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us honor and respect Native American culture while acknowledging its significant contributions to our
