EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Chiefs in the Sun Dance Parade-Cheyenne, c1927," is a striking image captured by the renowned ethnographer and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis. The photograph depicts a row of several Cheyenne chiefs, proudly seated atop their horses in an open field. Dressed in their traditional apparel, the chiefs exude a sense of regality and pride as they gaze out at the audience with unwavering intensity. The Great Plains of the American West serve as the backdrop for this ethnographic moment, with the vast expanse of grasslands stretching out behind the riders. The chiefs' clothing, a blend of both traditional Native American designs and Western influences, is a testament to the cultural fusion that characterized the region during this time. Some chiefs wear intricately beaded dresses and headdresses, while others don cowboy hats and Stetson coats. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich Native American heritage that once thrived on the Great Plains. The Sun Dance parade, a traditional Cheyenne ceremony, is a symbol of the resilience and adaptability of the Cheyenne people in the face of cultural change. The image also underscores the importance of preserving and documenting the customs and traditions of indigenous communities. Edward Sheriff Curtis's photograph is a valuable addition to the anthropological and ethnographic record of the 20th century. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the Cheyenne people during the 1920s and the complex interplay of Native American and Western cultures on the Great Plains.
