EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Pine Tree," was captured by renowned American ethnologist and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1905. The image showcases a proud and dignified Cheyenne man, identified as Pine Tree, who is seated and facing left. He wears a traditional Plains Indian costume, consisting of a blanket draped over his shoulders, a kerchief around his neck, and a feather in his braided hair. The intricate hairstyle, adorned with multiple feathers, is plaited and meticulously arranged, reflecting the great care and attention given to personal appearance in Native American cultures. The man's profile exudes a sense of pride and heritage, as he gazes off into the distance, seemingly lost in thought. The photograph, which is a gelatin silver print, was taken during a time when anthropological interest in Native American customs and traditions was at its peak. The image is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, serving as an important reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the First Nations people of North America.
