EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Two Moons and American Horse, c. 1889" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image captures the solemn yet powerful presence of two Native American chiefs, Two Moons and American Horse, who played crucial roles in the Indian Wars against the United States Army. Two Moons, also known as Ishaynishus, was a Cheyenne chief renowned for his participation in the Battle of Little Bighorn and other fierce battles. His weathered face reflects both wisdom and resilience gained through years of struggle. American Horse, an Oglala Lakota chief and statesman, stands beside him with an air of progressive leadership. As a U. S. Army Indian Scout, he advocated for friendly associations between tribes and education for his people. This photograph is believed to have been taken during a council meeting with General Nelson Miles at Lame Deer in 1889—a pivotal event that marked the settlement of the Indian War. It serves as a poignant reminder of the complex relationship between Native Americans and the United States during this tumultuous era. Through Charles Milton Bell's lens, we are transported to a time when these tribal leaders fought valiantly to protect their lands and preserve their way of life amidst encroaching settlers. This portrait encapsulates not only their individual strength but also represents countless indigenous voices striving for justice within North America's rich tapestry of cultures.
