Hoop On the Forehead [E]: A Full-Length Portrait of an Apsáalooke (Crow) Man, c1908, by Edward Sheriff Curtis This photograph, titled "Hoop On the Forehead [E]," captures the essence of the American West during the early 20th century. Taken in 1908 by renowned ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis, this full-length portrait showcases an Apsáalooke (Crow) man, dressed in traditional clothing, standing proudly before a backdrop of tipis and tents. The man, who gazes off to the side with a determined expression, wears a hoop on his forehead, a traditional adornment of the Apsáalooke people. In his right hand, he holds a tomahawk, a symbol of strength and warfare, while in his left, he cradles a rifle. The juxtaposition of the traditional and the modern, the old and the new, is a poignant reminder of the complexities of Native American life during this period. The photograph was taken during a time when the Plains Indians were undergoing significant cultural changes, as they adapted to the encroachment of European-American settlers and the United States government. Curtis's work, which focused on documenting the cultures and traditions of Native American tribes, played a crucial role in preserving the heritage of these communities. The image is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of the American West, and serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding and respecting the histories and traditions of indigenous peoples. This powerful photograph is an invaluable resource for anthropologists, historians, and anyone interested in the history and culture of the American West and its indigenous peoples.
