EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait of Sitting Bull with Calumet, 1885" captures the essence of one of history's most iconic Native American leaders. Taken by Orlando Scott Goff in 1885, this albumen print showcases Sitting Bull, a prominent Hunkpapa Lakota tribal chief known for his resistance against the encroachment of white settlers. In this portrait, Sitting Bull sits regally with a calumet, or peace pipe, in hand. His piercing gaze and stoic expression reveal the strength and wisdom that made him a revered figure among his people. The intricate feather headdress adorning his head symbolizes his status as a holy man and tribal leader. The image transports us back to an era marked by conflict between indigenous tribes and European colonizers. It serves as a poignant reminder of the Battle of Little Bighorn where Sitting Bull played a significant role in defeating General George Armstrong Custer's forces. Sitting Bull's braided hair cascades down his shoulders while he exudes an air of resilience and determination. This portrait not only immortalizes the physical features but also encapsulates the spirit and legacy of this remarkable individual who fought tirelessly to protect his people's way of life. As we gaze upon this historic photograph today, it allows us to reflect on the rich cultural heritage and struggles faced by Native American communities throughout history. It is through images like these that we can gain insight into their stories and honor their contributions to our shared human
