EDITORS COMMENTS
Bear Claw, a prominent member of the Apsáalooke (Crow) tribe from Montana, United States, is depicted in this striking head-and-shoulders portrait captured by Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1908. The black and white gelatin silver print captures Bear Claw's intense gaze and the intricate details of his traditional attire. He is seen wearing a braided hairstyle and a necklace adorned with beads and other native materials. The portrait provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Plains Indians during the early 20th century. The Apsáalooke people, also known as the Crow Indians, are indigenous to the Great Plains region of North America. This photograph is an important ethnographic and anthropological record of the tribe's history and traditions. The image is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, which holds a significant number of Curtis' works. The portrait serves as a reminder of the unique and diverse indigenous cultures that have shaped the history of America, particularly during the 1900s when the Plains Indians were undergoing significant changes due to European contact and the encroachment of settlers.
