EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Wolf-Apsaroke," was taken by renowned American ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in the year 1908. The image features a proud and stoic Apsaroke, or Crow, man named Wolf, who is seated and facing the camera. He is dressed in traditional attire, adorned with intricate body paint and multiple necklaces made of shells and other natural materials. The man's hair is braided and his arms are crossed, holding a long staff. The Apsaroke people, also known as the Crow Nation, are an indigenous group from the Great Plains region of North America, with a rich cultural heritage that revolves around hunting, fishing, and horse culture. This photograph offers a glimpse into their history and traditions, capturing the essence of their connection to the land and their unique way of life. The image was taken during a time when the Crow people were undergoing significant changes as a result of encroaching European settlers and the United States government's policies. Curtis' work, which includes this photograph, was instrumental in documenting and preserving the traditions and customs of various Native American tribes before they were lost to the march of modernization. This photograph is a valuable historical artifact, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Apsaroke people. It is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and educate generations about the history and diversity of the American West and its indigenous peoples.
