EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking head-and-shoulders portrait captures the intense gaze of Many Goat's son, a Navajo boy, taken by renowned ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1904. The young boy, likely in his teenage years, is dressed in traditional Navajo clothing, with a blanket wrapped around his shoulders and a headband adorning his forehead. The photograph, a testament to the past, exudes a sense of both heritage and suspicion. Many Goat's son's expression is distrustful, possibly a result of the intrusion of outsiders into Navajo territory during this period. The Navajo people, also known as the Dine, were a First Nation tribe native to North America, primarily living in the Southwestern United States. Edward Sheriff Curtis, an American anthropologist and photographer, dedicated his career to documenting the lives and cultures of Native American tribes. This photograph is a valuable addition to his extensive ethnographic record of the Navajo people, providing a glimpse into their traditional clothing and customs. The image, held in the Library of Congress, is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Navajo people and the importance of preserving their history. The use of traditional clothing and dress in the photograph adds to its conceptual significance, highlighting the importance of cultural identity and the role it plays in shaping one's sense of self.
