EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a memorable moment in history as a group of Native American Chiefs gather at the Sally Port of Fort Niagara in New York State, USA, during the 1920s. The fort, built in 1726, is located in the historic town of Youngstown, just south of Niagara Falls, and has played a significant role in the region's history. The Chiefs, dressed in traditional garb and adorned with feathers, stand on the grassy bank, gazing out at the tranquil waters of Lake Ontario. The archway of the Sally Port, with its brick steps and tunnel, serves as a picturesque backdrop for the scene. The Chiefs appear to be saluting or acknowledging the camera, offering a rare glimpse into the past and the rich cultural heritage of the Native American people. The photograph, which dates back to the 1920s, is a testament to the enduring history of Fort Niagara and the important role it played in the relationship between European settlers and Native American tribes. The image is reminiscent of a postcard from a bygone era, with its racial types and historical significance, making it a valuable addition to any collection of American history or Native American studies.
