EDITORS COMMENTS
Absoraks, c1905: A Rear View of Four Crow Indians on Horseback, Montana This photograph, titled "Absoraks, c1905," captures a striking image of four Crow Indians riding horseback in Montana, United States of America. Taken by renowned ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in the early 1900s, this photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Crow people, also known as the Apsáalooke or Apsároke Nation. The photograph features a rear view of the horsemen, with their strong, muscular forms poised on their horses. Among them are notable figures such as Shot in the Hand and Bull Chief, who were prominent members of the Crow community. The horses, an integral part of the Plains Indian way of life, are shown in their natural habitat, with the vast Montana landscape stretching out behind them. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a pioneer in anthropology and ethnology, captured this image as part of his extensive documentation of Native American cultures during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Curtis' work was instrumental in preserving the history and traditions of indigenous peoples, making his photographs an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of the American West. This photograph, with its timeless composition and evocative subject matter, is a testament to the resilience and strength of the Crow people and their deep connection to their land and traditions. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the heritage and history of indigenous communities and the role that photography plays in capturing and sharing their stories.
