EDITORS COMMENTS
The Winter Camp-Apsaroke, c1908: A Moment in Plains Indian Life This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Apsaroke, or Crow, people of the American West during the winter season. Taken by renowned ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1908, the image portrays two Apsaroke individuals on horseback outside a tipi, surrounded by a thicket of trees with a blanket of snow covering the ground. The Apsaroke, also known as the Absaroka or the Crow Nation, are a Native American tribe originally from the Great Plains region of North America. Historically, they were known for their skillful horsemanship, hunting prowess, and rich cultural traditions. This photograph offers a glimpse into their daily life during the winter months when they would set up camp in sheltered areas to protect themselves from the harsh elements. The horses, essential companions to the Apsaroke people, are seen here in their winter coats, providing warmth and transportation in the snowy landscape. The tipi, a symbol of their nomadic heritage, stands tall against the backdrop of the trees, offering a sense of home and community. Edward Sheriff Curtis, an influential figure in American anthropology and ethnology, captured this moment in time as part of his extensive documentation of Plains Indian culture. The photograph is an invaluable historical record, offering insights into the lives of the Apsaroke people and their connection to the land and animals in their environment. This image, held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Apsaroke people and the natural beauty of the American West during the early 20th century.
