EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Curley (Ashishishe), a prominent Crow Native American leader, painted by Elbridge Ayer Burbank in 1897. The oil on canvas artwork measures 22x17 cm and is currently housed at the Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Curley played a significant role in history as he led General George Armstrong Custer and the 7th Cavalry into the infamous Battle of Little Bighorn. This painting captures his stoic presence and traditional attire, including plaited hair adorned with a beaded necklace and a striking medicine bag. Burbank's attention to detail brings out the essence of Curley's cultural heritage. His vibrant portrayal reflects both pride and resilience that defined many Native American leaders during this era. The significance of this portrait lies not only in its artistic value but also in its historical importance. It serves as a reminder of the rich indigenous cultures that shaped North America before colonization. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us appreciate Curley's contribution to our understanding of Native American history while acknowledging their enduring legacy within American society.
