EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Little, the Instigator of Indian Revolt at Pine Ridge, 1890, 1891," captures a pivotal moment in American history. The image features Oglala leader, Little, seated between two Euro-American men, Chris Mathison on the left and George Bartlett on the right. The setting is a studio, with Little dressed in traditional Native American attire, including a fringed dress and headdress, while the Euro-American men wear colonial-style coats and hats. The year was 1890, a time of great tension between Native Americans and European settlers in the American West. The image of Little, defiantly holding a gun, symbolizes the resistance and dissent of the Native American people against the encroachment of colonialism. The presence of the two Euro-American men, one holding a horned rifle, underscores the power dynamic of the time. This photograph, taken by John C.H. Grabill, is a poignant reminder of the complexities of the American frontier and the meeting of two distinct cultures. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Native American people in the face of adversity and the ongoing struggle for their land and heritage. The Library of Congress holds this historic photograph in its vast collection, preserving it for future generations to learn from and reflect upon the rich and complex history of America's past.
