EDITORS COMMENTS
This half-length portrait, titled "Reuben Black Boy and Family," was captured by renowned American anthropologist and photographer Edward S. Curtis around 1910. The image showcases a Piegan family from the Blackfeet Nation, a tribe belonging to the Algonquian language family, located in the American West. The father, Reuben Black Boy, is dressed in traditional Blackfoot clothing, including a long, braided coat and a fringed dress, while his daughters are adorned in colorful dresses and intricately braided hair. The family gazes directly at the camera with a sense of pride and dignity, offering a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the Blackfoot Confederacy's history and the enduring connection between the people and their land. This image is a valuable contribution to the ethnographic record of the early 20th century, providing insight into the clothing, customs, and traditions of the Blackfoot people during this time. The Library of Congress holds this photograph in its vast collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
