The Middle Five, 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant print captured by Angel De Cora Dietz that depicts a group of Indian boys at school. This powerful image serves as the frontispiece for Francis LaFlesche's book, beautifully illustrating the struggles faced by Native American children during this time. Dressed in traditional attire, these young boys exude an air of sadness and melancholy. Their downcast eyes and solemn expressions reveal their unhappiness and forlorn state of mind. The artist skillfully captures the depth of their emotions, portraying their mourning and grief through every brushstroke. This print serves as a window into the world of these indigenous peoples of America, shedding light on their experiences within the educational system. It invites us to reflect upon the challenges they encountered while navigating between two cultures - preserving their native identity while assimilating into mainstream society. The innocence and vulnerability radiating from these little boys tug at our heartstrings, reminding us of the universal nature of childhood regardless of cultural background. Through this artwork, we are reminded to empathize with those who have endured hardships beyond our own understanding. Angel De Cora Dietz's "The Middle Five" stands as a testament to her artistic talent and her commitment to capturing authentic representations of Native American life. It serves as both a historical document and an emotional tribute to those whose voices were often silenced or overlooked in early 20th-century America.
