EDITORS COMMENTS
Her Horse Kills, 1908: A Portrait of Resilience and Tradition This evocative photograph, titled "Her Horse Kills," captures the three-quarter length portrait of a Native American woman named Her Horse Kills, a member of the Absaroka, or Crow, tribe. The image, taken by renowned ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1908, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the American West during the early 20th century. Her Horse Kills is depicted seated in front of a plain background, her body adorned in traditional clothing, including a beaded dress, intricately designed beaded earrings, and a necklace. Her long, braided hair cascades down her back, adding to the overall sense of timelessness and authenticity. The photograph is a testament to the enduring strength and resilience of the Crow people, who have long called the Montana region of the United States their home. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural traditions and the significance of indigenous peoples in American history. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a pioneering figure in the fields of anthropology and ethnography, captured this image using a gelatin silver print process, which resulted in the high contrast and exquisite detail that can be seen in the photograph today. The image is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical and cultural importance.
