EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the strong and proud gaze of Red Hawk (Che-tan Luta), an Oglala Sioux Indian, taken by renowned ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1907. Red Hawk wears a traditional feather headdress, a symbol of his tribal heritage and status, as he faces the camera with a steady and unwavering gaze. The portrait offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of the Plains Indians, specifically the Lakota or Teton Sioux, during the early 20th century. The direct and unadorned background allows the viewer to fully focus on Red Hawk's expressive face and the intricate details of his headdress, which features a variety of colorful feathers and beads. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Native American history and the importance of preserving traditional clothing and customs. The portrait is a valuable addition to any collection of anthropology, ethnography, or Native American studies, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence contemporary fashion and design.
