EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "Porcupine-Cheyenne" by Edward Sheriff Curtis, dates back to the early 1910s. The image showcases Porcupine, a Cheyenne man, in a head-and-shoulders pose, facing right. Porcupine stands out against a plain background, adorned with a wreath of cottonwood leaves on his head. The leaves, possibly used to shield his head from the sun during a Sun Dance ceremony, add a natural element to the photograph. The Cheyenne people are an indigenous tribe from the Plains region of North America. This portrait is a testament to their rich heritage and traditional practices. Porcupine's clothing is simple, reflecting the practicality and connection to nature that was essential to Plains Indian life. The absence of modern apparel highlights the significance of the ceremonial attire and the importance of preserving cultural traditions. Edward Sheriff Curtis was a renowned American anthropologist, photographer, and ethnographer, known for his extensive documentation of Native American cultures. His work, including this portrait of Porcupine-Cheyenne, is a valuable contribution to the ethnographic record and serves as a reminder of the diverse and intriguing histories of indigenous peoples. The Library of Congress houses this precious photograph, preserving it for future generations to study and appreciate the beauty and complexity of Native American cultures.
