EDITORS COMMENTS
The powerful print captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the transition from hunters to farmers for the Blackfoot people of Glacier National Park Reservation, Montana. Taken around 1929, it features Blackfoot Chief Coward and his son, Victor Coward. The image symbolizes the passing down of traditions and knowledge from one generation to another. In this black and white portrait, Chief Coward stands tall with pride while his son stands beside him. Their faces reflect a mix of determination and hope for a better future. The significance lies in the fact that Victor has been enrolled into a five-year agricultural program, marking a shift away from their ancestral hunting practices towards farming on their land. This photograph encapsulates an important chapter in American Indian history as it showcases how indigenous communities adapted to changing times while preserving their cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to resilience and adaptation amidst challenging circumstances. The natural setting of Glacier National Park forms the backdrop for this historic moment captured by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG). Through this image, we are reminded of the deep connection between humans and nature, as well as the importance of honoring our roots while embracing progress.
