EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Buffalo Dancers," was captured by the renowned American ethnographer and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis, around 1905. The image showcases three Tewa men, dressed in traditional costumes, engaged in a Buffalo Dance, a significant ritual and festival celebrated by the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, United States of America. The dancers are adorned with elaborate headdresses and costumes, featuring dance bustles made of turkey feathers, representing the Tewa sun god. The image, taken outdoors, offers a glimpse into the rich and vibrant tribal culture of the time. The Tewa people, also known as the San Ildefonso Pueblo, are a Native American tribe that has inhabited the Rio Grande Valley for over eight centuries. This photograph is an essential contribution to the ethnographic and anthropological record of the early 20th century, providing a window into the traditional clothing, dance, and customs of the Tewa people.
