EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Invocation-Sioux," captures the profound moment of a Dakota man in traditional attire, engaging in a spiritual ritual. Taken by renowned American ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1907, the image showcases the subject standing tall and proud, with his right hand raised skyward and a pipe in his left. The man wears a breechcloth, a traditional garment made of animal hides, which is tied at the waist and leaves the lower body exposed. The gray olive board on which the gelatin silver print is mounted adds an antique and timeless feel to the image. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Dakota people and the deep connection they have to their land and beliefs. The image invites us to reflect on the spiritual practices and traditions that have been passed down through generations. The Dakota people, also known as the Sioux, are an indigenous tribe originally from the Great Plains region of North America. This photograph is a valuable contribution to the ethnographic and anthropological record, providing insights into the clothing and posture of the Dakota people during the early 20th century. The hand gesture and the raised arm suggest a prayer or invocation, further emphasizing the spiritual significance of the moment captured in the photograph.
