EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait, titled "Bird on High Land," was captured by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1908. The image features a Crow man from the Absaroka tribe, dressed in traditional apparel, with a thoughtful expression as he gazes directly into the camera. The man wears a bandana around his neck and has long, braided hair adorned with intricate beadwork and feathers. His clothing, which includes a colorful dress with fringes and a necklace made of beads and bones, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Crow people. The photograph was taken in Montana, United States of America, during a time when the traditional way of life for Native American communities was rapidly changing. Curtis' ethnographic work, including this image, played a significant role in documenting and preserving the customs, costumes, and traditions of indigenous peoples in North America during the early 20th century. This historic photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of cultural preservation.
