EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in Native American history. Titled "Tashunkakokip (Old man afraid of his horses) and his chiefs, Oglala, 1868" the image showcases a group portrait of prominent figures from the Teton Sioux tribe. The photo print, taken by Alexander Gardner in 1868, provides a rare glimpse into the traditional costumes and regalia worn by these North American Indian leaders. Adorned with feathers and draped in blankets, they exude an air of power and wisdom. The central figure, known as Tashunkakokip or Old Man Afraid of His Horses, stands tall among his fellow chiefs. Their stern expressions hint at their deep connection to their ancestral heritage and their commitment to preserving their way of life. Displayed at the Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, this albumen print holds historical significance for its portrayal of Native American culture during a tumultuous time in American history. It serves as a reminder of the rich traditions that existed long before European settlers arrived on North American soil. Through this photograph's monochromatic lens, we are transported back to an era when tribes like the Oglala thrived across vast landscapes. It is a testament to both the resilience and beauty found within indigenous communities throughout America's past. As we admire this powerful image captured by Gardner's lens over 150 years ago, let us reflect upon our shared history with Native Americans while honoring their contributions to our diverse
