Edward S. Curtis's iconic photographs capture the essence of the Apsaroke people, also known as the Crow Nation. From the fierce Young Hairy Wolf to the wise Plenty Coups and his wife, these images offer a glimpse into the rich culture and history of this Native American tribe. Curtis's works, including "Her Horse Kills," "Daydreams," and "Victory," showcase the strength, beauty, and resilience of the Apsaroke people. The portraits of John Wallace, Richard Wallace, and Pretty Paint offer intimate glimpses into their individual stories, while the powerful image of a wolf serves as a reminder of the deep connection between the Apsaroke people and the natural world.
