EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Village Criers on Horseback, Bird On the Ground and Forked Iron, Crow Indians, Montana, c1908," is a poignant snapshot of the rich cultural heritage of the Crow (Apsáalooke or Apsaroke) people in Montana during the early 20th century. Taken by renowned ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis, this image showcases the traditional way of life and attire of these Native American tribesmen. The photograph features a group of Crow men on horseback, dressed in their traditional clothing, serving as village criers. They wear intricately designed dresses, adorned with feathers and other natural materials, reflecting their deep connection to nature. One man in the foreground is shown dismounting from his horse, while another man on horseback is pointing towards the ground, possibly signaling an announcement or warning to the community. In the background, a bird is perched on a forked iron, adding an element of nature to the scene. The image captures the essence of the American West, with its rugged terrain, open skies, and the proud and resilient spirit of the indigenous people. The photograph is a testament to the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the rich history of the Crow people. This photograph is an invaluable resource for anthropologists, historians, and anyone interested in the history and culture of the American West and Native American tribes. The image is a reminder of the importance of understanding and respecting the diverse cultural traditions and heritage that make up the fabric of American society.
