Their behaviour and the expression of their faces justified their names and, in the course of their official duties, they were truly feared by others.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Grizzly-Bear Brave, Piegan" we are transported back in time to witness the awe-inspiring presence of two men from the Piegan War Societies. These societies, namely the Braves and All Brave Dogs, each included two individuals known as the Grizzly-Bear Brave. During festive occasions, it was their solemn duty to provide meat for their fellow companions, regardless of how they acquired it. The intensity reflected in their behavior and etched onto their faces truly justified their fearsome namesakes. In fulfilling their official responsibilities, these brave warriors instilled genuine fear in others. This remarkable image is part of volume 6 of an encyclopedia published by Edward S. Curtis between 1907 and 1930. Curtis dedicated his life's work to documenting the indigenous peoples of North America with great respect and admiration. His comprehensive collection spans across twenty volumes and includes a foreword by none other than Theodore Roosevelt himself. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Patrice Cartier from Fine Art Finder, we cannot help but be drawn into a world long gone yet forever preserved through images like these. It serves as a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage that once thrived on this land and pays homage to those who embodied strength, courage, and resilience against all odds.
