EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "White Shield-Arikara," was captured by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in the year 1908. The image showcases White Shield, a male member of the Arikara tribe, who is gazing off to the left with a thoughtful expression. White Shield is dressed in traditional Plains Indian clothing, including a long, fringed shirt and a magnificent feather headdress. The headdress, adorned with an intricate design of feathers and beads, adds an air of regality and significance to the portrait. The Arikara people, also known as the Ree or Riccarée, are a Native American tribe originally from the North Dakota and South Dakota region of the United States. This portrait offers a glimpse into their rich heritage and the traditional clothing and accessories that were an integral part of their culture. Edward Sheriff Curtis was a prolific photographer and ethnographer, best known for documenting Native American cultures and traditions during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work, which includes over 40,000 photographs, is an invaluable resource for understanding the history and diversity of Native American communities in North America. This portrait, now held in the prestigious Library of Congress, is a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of the Native American people and their connection to the land and traditions that have shaped their identity for generations.
