EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1890 showcases the innocence and cultural heritage of Cheyenne children. The image features a young Cheyenne girl and boy, each cradling their cherished dolls in their arms. These dolls hold great significance within the Cheyenne tradition, as they are adorned with beautiful dentalium shells that symbolize prosperity and spirituality. Photographed by Laton Alton Huffman in Miles City, Montana, this portrait captures the essence of late 19th-century American Indian life on the Great Plains. The children's attire reflects their rich cultural identity, with intricate feather ornaments adorning their braided hair and neckerchiefs adding a touch of elegance to their outfits. The sepia-toned print adds an air of nostalgia to this timeless moment frozen in time. It transports us back to an era when studio photography was still a novelty, allowing us to glimpse into the lives of these unidentified Cheyenne youngsters. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our history and honoring indigenous cultures. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst adversity and change, traditions can be passed down through generations - just like these treasured dolls held so dearly by these Cheyenne children over a century ago.
