EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "High Hawk," was captured by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1907. The image showcases a full-length portrait of a Native American man identified as High Hawk, who stands proudly facing the camera with a confident and regal expression. High Hawk is dressed in his ceremonial attire, including a war bonnet adorned with intricately arranged feathers, a medallion, and a coup stick. The Brule tribe member's traditional clothing and accessories reflect the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of North America during the early 20th century. The photograph was taken during a time when the United States Congress was actively working to document and preserve the customs, languages, and traditions of Native American tribes. Curtis' work, which included thousands of photographs, films, and recordings, was instrumental in documenting the lives and histories of various Native American tribes before their traditional ways of life were forever altered by the encroachment of European-American culture. This gelatin silver print, which measures approximately 13.5 x 11 inches, is a testament to Curtis' dedication to capturing the essence of Native American culture and preserving it for future generations. The image is a powerful reminder of the rich heritage and resilience of indigenous peoples, and the importance of honoring and celebrating their unique traditions and histories.
