EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment between Mary Bad Eyes, a blind Native American woman of the Oglala Lakota Tribe, and her young son, Papoose, in 1912. Mary, whose real name was Mary Whereabouts, was born blind and was known for her exceptional skills in beadwork and traditional Lakota crafts. Dressed in their tribal attire, Mary and Papoose pose for the camera with Mary's intricately beaded costume shining in the light. Mary's blindness did not hinder her from being a respected member of her community. She was known for her exceptional ability to identify different types of beads by touch, a skill passed down through generations of Lakota women. Her beadwork was highly sought after, and she was often commissioned to create ceremonial pieces for important events within the tribe. In this photograph, Mary's resilience and strength are evident as she cradles her young son, Papoose, with a tender expression on her face. The image offers a glimpse into the traditional way of life of the Lakota people during a time when their culture was under threat from encroaching American settlers. The photograph also highlights the deep connection between mother and child, as Papoose gazes up at his mother with a look of admiration and love. The pig tails tied with ribbons on both their heads are a symbol of their Native American heritage and their commitment to preserving their cultural traditions. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and resilience of the Indigenous peoples of North America and the importance of preserving their traditions and stories for future generations.
