EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length portrait, titled "Wades in Water, Piegan Indian," was created by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1910. The image features a Piegan Indian man, identified as "Wades," seated on the floor with his legs crossed and his gaze fixed on the camera. Dressed in traditional attire, Wades wears a beaded buckskin shirt and leggings adorned with intricate beadwork and ermine tail trim. His long, braided hair is also adorned with beads, adding to the rich textures and colors of his outfit. The Piegan Indians, also known as the Blackfeet, are part of the Blackfoot Confederacy, a Native American group indigenous to the Blackfoot language family. They inhabited the plains and prairies of present-day Montana, United States, and were known for their nomadic lifestyle, hunting traditions, and intricate beadwork. Curtis, an ethnographer and photographer, captured this image during a time when Native American cultures were rapidly changing due to European influence and the encroachment of settlers. His work, including this portrait of Wades, is an important historical record of Native American life and traditions during the early 20th century. The portrait is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Piegan people and the significance of their traditional clothing and customs. This photograph, with its timeless composition and intricate details, is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural histories and traditions of indigenous peoples. The image is held in the collections of the Library of Congress, a national library of the United States, and is a valuable resource for scholars, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the history of Native American cultures.
