EDITORS COMMENTS
Major Victor M. Locke, affectionately known as 'Chief of The Choctaw,' poses for a formal portrait in 1916. This striking photograph, created by Harris & Ewing, captures Locke's confident and resolute demeanor. Dressed in a dark suit and striped tie, Locke exudes an air of authority and determination. At the time of this photograph, Locke was an influential figure in Oklahoma and beyond. He served as the official spokesman for the Choctaw nation and represented the state as a delegate to the Republican National Convention. Locke's ambition extended beyond his political role, as he advocated for the education and financial independence of the Choctaw people. The photograph was taken during the 20th century, specifically in the 1910s, a time of significant change for Native American communities in the United States. Locke's efforts towards equal rights and citizenship were part of a larger movement towards recognizing the humanity and agency of indigenous peoples. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the important role that Locke played in shaping the future of the Choctaw nation and Native American rights in the United States.
