EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Historic Moment in Time: Rodman Wanamaker and Indian Chiefs (1913)**
In this powerful black-and-white photograph taken by Bain News Service in 1913, we witness a momentous occasion that brings together two cultures - the American Indians and European-American society. The image captures Rodman Wanamaker, son of John Wanamaker, founder of the iconic department store chain, standing alongside seven Native American chiefs at the groundbreaking ceremony for the National American Indian Memorial in Fort Wadsworth, Staten Island, New York.
The dignified gathering features prominent leaders from various tribes: Wooden Leg and Two Moons (Cheyenne), Plenty Coups and Medicine Crow (Crow), White Man Runs Him (Crow), Jack Red Cloud (Oglala Sioux). The photograph not only commemorates the event but also serves as a testament to the efforts of Rodman Wanamaker, who was instrumental in promoting understanding and cooperation between Native American communities and European-American society.
This historic moment is preserved for eternity through Bain News Service's glass negative, providing us with a poignant glimpse into the past. The photograph not only highlights the significance of this event but also underscores the importance of preserving cultural heritage and fostering greater understanding among nations.
